gnnyman Posted September 4, 2015 Share #1 Posted September 4, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello fellow users, I have seen a longer thread about the GPS "performance" in the handgrip. I got one of them, because I wanted to do some UBS connected shooting (macro and micro). Today I was out and switched the GPS function on - it took about 45 minutes until the GPS function started to work. It was downtown Vienna, in streets - but my Holux GPS does this in about 1 or 2 minutes. Is this normal? Would it make sense to send the grip to Wetzlar to get it checked? I can´t believe that Leica produces such a slow responding system - what is your opinion?Thanks and regards Georg Nyman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodies Posted September 5, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 5, 2015 It helps if you stand perfectly still whilst it is acquiring satellites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanJW Posted September 5, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 5, 2015 The GPS implementation is seriously lacking in this expensive accessory. It takes way too long to get a fix, and then if you happen to go inside for just a few minutes, it will not retain the location, forcing another search for a satellite signal. The latter problem was identified probably a year ago as the result on one of the firmware updates but has never been fixed. I bought mine for other purposes so I am not as disappointed as anyone who bought it for the GPS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
