Anybody have experience with these? I am wondering what is the difference between the GP-E1 and the GP-E2.

The GP-E1 and the GP-E2 are compatible with different cameras. Check Canon's web site for a list of compatible cameras for the different models. I have the GP-E2 and it works like a charm with my 5DSR (as long as I remember to keep a fresh AA battery in the GP-E2).

GP-E1 is for Canon 1D X cameras. It connects to an accessory port on the camera. GP-E2 can connect via hot shoe to a number of Canon cameras, can connect via a cable to some, and when connected will geotag photos. GP-E2 can also be used as a data logger without camera connection and geotag photos using software. This requires accurate setting of camera time.

Thanks! I just found Canon's online information unclear and hated to get on the phone.

Thanks for helping clarify.

Which camera are you using? the newer Canon models have GPS built in. Be aware they are a huge drain on the battery.
