Nikon GP-1A Photo-GPS (hotshoe recording) (Camera)

Customer Review

I've been using since about three years a "no-name" GPS receiver, purchased from a company in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, there the cable is broken on my last vacation. In addition, the thing has drawn a lot of battery and the sychronisation with the GPS satellite was not particularly fixed.

So I put my GP-1, with the hope that it the above points would be better.
Unfortunately, this was not the case.

What I find most negative GP-1:
- Extremely high power consumption (! More than my old no-name) The power supply of the GP-1 is carried out via the camera's battery. Battery Grip beneficial.
- Syncronisation, so green until the LED lights up, takes a long time (as well as the no-name)
- The cable to the camera is a very long time. Personally, I too long. Is often in the way or you will easily hang anywhere.

What I find positive in the GP-1:
- The cable to the camera's interchangeable
- USB port (I have not used)

Since I now know two different models of GPS receivers and sufficient practical experience have accumulated, receives the GP-1 only 1 star. Even Nikon's pricing has been included in this review.
