[QUOTE="dbrb2, post: 114475, member: 12945"] Hello, This may not be possible...I have recently started using a d5100, and love it. One thing I have noticed is that the GPS socket is in a slightly awkward location. I was thinking of trying to make up a cable, using very thin ribbon cable, to run the three requried cores (power, data, ground) to a more useful location. The thin ribbon cable might allow the rubber cover to be closed. The connector itself seems to be non-standard - plugs I can buy online as a remote cord and desolder, but I can't find any sources for a socket... Has anyone tried this, or know of a useful source for sockets/plugs? Obviously technically I could just modify the camera itself, but I'd much much rather do this with proper plugs/sockets to preserve camera warranty! Cheers, Ben [/QUOTE]
