Is it possible to get a GPS receiver for my NX70 together with a routeplanner of some sort? What sort of cost am I looking at or is it even possible? I'm in the UK if that's relevant! Thanks

Posts: 17	found some infor regarding SONY GPS Memory Stick (PEGA-MSG1) http://shop.brando.com.hk/pega-msg1.php look like its only compatible with PEG-T600CAT400AN750C and N600C (Japanese Version) http://www.sony.jp/products/Consume...MSG1/index.html trust me,it would be more handy if you get a protable GPS unit alone...As the GPS works with fq close to 2G. Just img' how fast will your NX70 runs out of power...

Does "Fortress Electronics" sell it? And do you know if it works with nx73? __________________ Now: NX73V, T665C, T68i Previous: S360, m105, m100, 8260

From what I read in other posts, it is not compatible with older NX models, only the NX73 and NX80v. This is one of the reasons I bought a T3 instead of another NX Sony won't support for more than a few months!
