Solusi

Check the following if you cannot receive GPS signals.

In [GPS Settings], check that [GPS] has not been set to [Disable].

For more details on configuring this setting, see Receiving GPS signals (EOS 6D).

To acquire GPS signals, bring the camera outdoors where the sky is unobstructed and aim it upwards. Keep your hands and other objects off the top of the camera.

NOTE

Under favorable conditions, signal acquisition takes approx. 30-60seconds after turning on the camera if radiowave conditions are good.
The antenna of the internal GPS is located at the front of the hot shoe. GPS signals can be received even when an external flash is attached. However, acquisition will slightly be weakened.
GPS signals can be received even when shooting with the camera positioned vertically.
When traveling long distance, inaccurate information may be recorded.

CAUTION

Poor GPS Coverage

Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following locations.

Indoors, underground, in tunnels or forests, near buildings or in valleys.
Near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the 1.5 GHz band.
When traveling through different environments.
Even in other locations, satellite movement may interfere with geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information. The information may also indicate that the camera has been used in a different location, even if you are shooting at the same place.
