GPS for Nikon, August 17, 2008
This review is from: Geometr Gps Receiver Nikon Dslr Realtime Geotag D700 D300 D3 More (Electronics)
The unit works fine. It is lacking a solid state COMPASS so you cannot get direction in the photo. You get coordinates and altitude in meters. It does draw over 100 mA (the power 5 standard LEDs would take) when it is on (even when the camera is off). If you leave it on and put your camera away you will have a dead battery when you want to use your camera again. The LED inside the unit that lets you know it is ON is very difficult to see in daylight. The camera top LCD screen will have a GPS logo if it is on and tracking.

Works great when it's not completely broken, June 29, 2009
This review is from: Geometr Gps Receiver Nikon Dslr Realtime Geotag D700 D300 D3 More (Electronics)
Like other people, my unit broke and I am unable to get it repaired or to get a reply from their support department. I actually did get one reply from their support, but when I asked a clarifying question I got no response, which leaves me 1 month into ownership of this somewhat expensive accessory which I bought specifically for a two month trip to Asia and it is now completely useless.
After considering my options, I think getting a GPS data logger to use with software is a better option. For one, it will work with other camera models. I had thought about switching my Nikon out for another camera, but that meant giving up the GPS data provided by this Macsense device.
If you do plan to go with an on-camera GPS, I would advise against this device. It has some design flaws, and it is clearly not made to withstand actual field use.

Nikon D300 GPS Attachment, August 16, 2008
This review is from: Geometr Gps Receiver Nikon Dslr Realtime Geotag D700 D300 D3 More (Electronics)
This little gadget is fantastic. Just plug it in and it works. Nothing to it. Lat/lon and altitude in meters is automatically added to your EXIF data.
If you wish you can use their software which shows your picture in Google Maps. Kinda neat.
No complaints at all.
