[QUOTE="Bob Blaylock, post: 236762, member: 16749"] I have had no problems at all with mine. Nearly everywhere that I've tried to use it, it has had no trouble locking on to the satellites and getting a position. Much to my surprise, it even works consistently inside a certain church building, where the GPS on my cellphone does not, and where I would not expect a GPS to work, due to all the metal that is in the construction of that type of building. With any GPS, your success at using it is going to vary greatly, depending on reception conditions in the time and place that you are. One issue that you will see mentioned in some of the reviews is the way the connector sticks out from the side of the camera, and the potential that this creates for damage to the camera. Alas, this issue is a genuine concern. It's Nikon's fault, and not that of the manufacturer of the particular unit. Nikon put the connector on the side of the cameras, and used a connector for which a compact right-angle version is apparently not available. Even Nikon's own GP-1a, I believe, has a connector that sticks straight out, creating this same vulnerability. [ATTACH=CONFIG]64044._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
