Thank's for your reply!
So what is wrong?
I connect the O-GPS1 to the camera -> both power on -> blue led (initially flashes and than it stays on)
I don't see any icon with a satellite in the info screen (red, yellow or green - NOTHING) and i can't select the following functions in the GPS menu: Electronic Compass, Astrotracer, Calibration. (they're gray, non selectable).
Pratically i can't use the O-GPS functions...

Hmmmm.... I vaguely remember something (I THINK): You must have features such as Horizon Correction and/or Composition Adjustment disabled. I suggest that you examine those settings.

I've tried several possibilities:

Horizon Correction -> disabled
Composition Adjustment -> disabled
Auto timer off -> disabled
AF -> disabled

I don't know what else to do...

Now it becomes difficult. You might

A) try a reset (in the set-up menu) to default values

B) try (if possible) to reinstall ver. 1.16

I have never tried if B) is at all possible. If you press the menu button on power-up, do you get confirmation that you have the right firmware version installed?

If B) is possible, I would download the firmware anew. I suspect that files can get corrupted during download if the connection becomes unstable?

Tried A and B, but it doesn't work...
I've tried to install the 1.15 too, but it can not "upgrade back" to a previous software...
So I can't understand where's the problem!

no alkaline battery.

I've used the Amazon Basics 800mAh (I've read somewere they're probably the eneloop rebranded), the O-GPS1 stays on a lot of time but the camera doesn't recognize it...
Tried with a K-r but I've got the same problem so probably the issue is in the O-GPS1.

I've asked to the guy that sold me it and he tell me that the last time he used it, all works fine (maby one year ago). Is it possible that one year of inactivity may cause a malfunction of the rig?
If it doesn't work no problem, I can send it back. But I just want to understand if I do something wrong in the use or it's the GPS broken.

Thank you all for the help (and exuse me for my poor English)
