[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 325189, member: 16749"] The thing that seems to me to be a big weakness with all the GPS systems I've seen for these cameras, including Nikon's own GP-1/GP-1a; is that you have a connector sticking far enough off the side of the camera that it poses a hazard that it could catch on something, and result in damage to the connector on the camera. This unit in the OP doesn't solve this problem; in fact, it seems to make it worse. Instead of just a connector and a wire sticking out, you've got the whole GPS unit inflexibly hanging off that connector. It seems that the real solution would be some sort of compact right-angle connector on the end of the cable that plugs into the camera, so that the connector and wire do not stick out to the side. Why hasn't anyone come out with that? [/QUOTE]
