[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 63380, member: 986"] One thing that I've been pretty impressed with regarding the Nikon 1 system, is the way Nikon rethought firmware patching. Unlike our DSLRs, Nikon has also provided the ability to patch lenses, GPS and Speedlight micro-code in the Nikon 1 series. (I realize that the SB-900 and SB-700 also have this ability.) I expect at some point, we'll see this trickle "up"? The GP-N100 GPS is particularly interesting. It has a weather sealed USB port for updates. When you connect your USB and use the Utility software, not only can you update the micro-code but you can load a file to improve the GPS performance. I don't know of another camera GPS that has this feature. From the manual: [FONT=century gothic][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#595757][COLOR=#595757]Assisted GPS (A-GPS or aGPS) uses files containing supplementary information to reduce the time needed to determine the current position. Assisted GPS files for the GP-N100 remain valid for about two weeks after [/COLOR][/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][/FONT][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#595757][COLOR=#595757]download.
