Does the KP have an GPS unit built in?

Why do you think it is discontinued? Even Ricoh wouldn't discontinue an item that their newest yet to be released camera needs for Astrotracer.

I know, I found that really weird but I was not able to find it on the Ricoh website last I checked (two weeks ago), even with the search function. Besides, even Amazon in my country is not selling it anymore (despite selling Pentax lens and bodies). So I thought it was discontinued.

That said, I checked again today, and this time it is here! I was wrong, and it's a relief.

For that one has to look at the KP manual, pages 121 and 130. I have notified B&H with a complete list.
