Use together with Canon's bundled map utility software to display all your photos' locations on a world map, the PowerShot SX230 HS's GPS system can also track your route from photo to photo - a great way to create and share custom maps (like a personal mini-travel guide) with friends and family members. 14x Optical Zoom Get up-close fast especially handy at sports and school events as well as everyday creative shooting.
