Apart from the official nikon Gps, does anyone have any suggestions for cheaper ones? And, is the gps the same fitting for the nikon D200 and D5000?

I've had both - a cheaper ebay version & an original Nikon GP-1...


TBH the only difference being is the price & one has Nikon stamped across it... Pending on how much your going to use it I would go for the cheaper version...

I've gone for another (cheaper) GPS this one Yongnuo N918/N1 - once it arrives (soon) I'll let you know how good it is & if there is any difference to the real mccoy...

The link to the one I'm getting is for the D700 (10 pin) so this one is the link to a D90/D5000 gps (same as the D700 but for the D90/D5000) D90/D5000 N918/N1 GPS

Thanks for that. I'll have to try and figure out a way of having one GPS for both, as I use d200 & d5000, so it'd be silly having 2 different ones...

You can get a lead for either that will fit that GPS.... When mine arrives I'll lt you know if it came with both leads or you could even contact them and ask for the additional lead..

I know that the Nikon GP-1 GPS has both leads (as I've owned one) but thats almost triple the price of the one's above..
 
If you want to do it completely for free there are various software systems that allow you to take the GPS tracks logged on your phone and automatically add them to the EXIF data on your photographs (as long as your clocks on both are set the roughly the same!)

Ok its a bit more geeky and involved than putting a GPS unit on your camera, but its a valid alternative. However, as I only think its really only of marginal interest for a handful of my images, I tag them manually with the interactive map on Flickr when they are uploaded, doesn't actually take that long as exact accuracy isn't important... and sometimes you don't want the exact location known anyway for whatever reason....
 
Oh I didn't realise you could add different cables. Hmm getting me more and more tempted tp splash out on one!
 
IIRC, the current Garmin e-Trex series of GPS are compatible with Nikon cameras with the right cable (cables cost about £20 I think).
The cheapest e-Trex is about £80. I use a 'Legend-H' Garmin and it will connect to Nikon D2x and later bodies according the Nikon and Garmin websites, though I've not bothered aquiring the cable to do so.

Mine arrived this morning & works just the same as the Nikon GP-1 & for a 1/3 of the price of an original you could buy 2 (£120 delivered for the 2x yongnuo)- one for each camera incase you take one without the other & saves the removal of the 10pin lead....

I posted on Graham thread ---> Yongnuo GPS with some info if your interested
