## GPS assist data (DSC-HX7V only)

The time for the GPS acquiring location information can be shortened by taking in GPS assist data. The state of GPS assist data can be checked on the camera.

If you connect the camera to an Internet-enabled computer and use the supplied software “PMB“ or “PMB Portable“, the GPS assist data can be updated automatically.
Using GPS support tool

- You can also update the GPS assist data by inserting a memory card into the computer. Start up [GPS Support Tool] from (PMB Launcher), select the memory card drive from your computer, and then update the GPS assist data.

Notes

- If [Date & Time Setting] is not set, or set time is shifted greatly, the time for the GPS acquiring location information cannot be shortened. Set the date and time correctly by MENU (Settings) [Date & Time Setting].

- If the term of validity of GPS assist data has run out, the time until you can record location information cannot be shortened.
