Firmware update for GP-E2

Canon has updated the firmware for the GPS receiver GP-E2 to make it compatible with the latest EOS cameras. Version 2.0.0 incorporates the following fixes and improvements:

1.  Fixes a phenomenon in which, in rare cases, the signal acquisition indicator on the GPS Receiver GP-E2 displays “Slow blinking (Signal acquired)” even if a signal is not yet acquired.

2.  Fixes a phenomenon in which new log files may not be saved correctly if the built-in memory of the GPS Receiver GP-E2 becomes full.

3. Support for the EOS 760D and EOS 750D cameras has been added.

4.  Support for the EOS 5DS and EOS 5DS R cameras has been added.
Firmware version 2.0.0 is applicable for GPS Receiver GP-E2 units with firmware up to Version 1.0.9. If the GP-E2’s firmware is already version 2.0.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

To update the firmware, Map Utility software (bundled with GPS Receiver GP-E2) is required. Before updating the firmware, use Map Utility to save any GPS log files in the GP-E2’s built-in memory to your computer. After the GPS log files are saved to your computer, make sure to delete the log files from the  GP-E2's built-in memory before updating the firmware.
