Hello, I have a Caonon 5D miii, I was wondering were I to get a Canon GP-E1 GPS Receiver.... would this mean in the viewing area on the back of the camera i would have something ii the lines of a compass. aka would it show me and give me corodinates as to which direction the camera was pointing in degrees.

I need to be able to set my camera in specific directions and would welcome your input on this.
