Re: WB850F update

From past experience with Samsung cutting GPS support, yet continuing to sell the wb650, I wouldn't bet on them being able to figure it out, to be honest. Many had severe issues with the download process, as well as the install of the files. Luckily, some on this forum came through, but Samsung isn't about support, nor about image quality anymore. It's all about toys.

Too bad that the reviewer didn't have time to evaluate the GPS functionality. The HZ35W had all the right hardware though the software fell short in many ways. Even though the HZ35W GPS implementation is flawed I still get some interesting use out of that capability. In more than one case the map info has helped me navigate a maze of unfamiliar streets.
