Reviews for MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord for D2Hs Digital Camera

Good, but limited

Strengths: works with new "H" series Garmins

Weakness: can be used with only a limited number of devices, bulky

If you have a Nikon D200 this cable is what you need to get GPS information into your camera. The problem is this adapter only works with a serial port-based devices, and as we all know, there aren't many of them out there any more. I have a Garmin IIIPlus that I tried to use with this adapter last fall and it worked...sometimes. You see, it's old and slow, so I missed a few good photo ops, because I was waiting for it to pick up satellites. Eventually, I gave up and got myself a new Garmin eTrex H that has a new, very fast chip. The advantage of this one is that there is a serial cable available for it that you can use with MC-35. Ironically, the more expensive garmins can't use it, as most of them can only use USB. I am pretty happy with it, but I would prefer Nikon to create a less bulky solution for GPS input into the camera.
