Cord adapts compatible Nikon SLRs to GPs units so that GPS data can be recorded in EXIF files. However the cord termininates in an RS 232 connector and a 2nd cord with RS-232 to Garmin interface is required for the GPS data transfer to occur. A single cord with Nikon to Garmin connectors would be much more convenient <br />2. The RS-232 connectors have 2 screws to insure that this connection doesn't separate. Howver the threads and sockets are mismatched so the screws can't be used. On occasion my RS 232 coupling separated <br />3. The NIkon cord is very expensive and very short. The Garmin portion of the cable pair is much longer and 1/3 the price of the Nikon cord Rating: 3 / 5 Cord works as advertised, providing half the interface to a Garmin GPS but it has several disconcerting characteristics

The package was found open inside the shipping envelope. Apparently, the D90 doesn't work with this cable due to a different style connector on the camera body. It would have saved me a great deal of money of Adorama had simply listed the compatible cameras rather than just "Nikon Digital SLR Cameras." <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 Just bought a D90 and ordered this cable from Adorama.

It woks well, mates properly to the connector that is also needed from the GPS. It is too bad that one cable could not do this whole task, but, maybe this is all tied up with different companies making their own rules.

For one thing the picture is misleading because the cord I got had the ferrite "toffee" at one end which makes it an unsightly/unwieldy thing. As soon as I got it, I ripped the box part of it apart and proceeded to hack into it, integrating a Globalsat GPS in a nifty little project box. Now, I have a very compact MC35 cord with a GPS integrated within; this combination allows me to still connect a remote using the 10 pin connector as well as add GPS info into the EXIF Rating: 4 / 5 It’s a cable with a box at one end; what’s there to review?

It did what it suppose to do as an interface between the camera and GPS BUT!!

I can’t understand way I should have to use two boxes connected to each other and then to the camera when it would have been much more convenient to have it all in one box!

Then I found this solution:
