D90 GPS options

Monday, August 24th, 2009

Still playing around with what kind of GPS I should get for my Nikon D90, see my GPS post, and D90 Camera post.

  • This looks nice and simple http://www.di-gps.com/di-GPS/img/mini2s_02.jpg(just works): di GPS mini IIs, priced around 700 DKK with current exchange rates
  • This also looks OK, but rather more expensive, Geotagger N2 GPS, prices around 1500 DKK with current euro (locked to DKK, so no currency effect worth talking about)
  • This shop has all the cables (very complex it seems with all those combinations), put together it costs around 500 DKK and it looks like:
  • Alternatively one could try with the data cable to the holux, but it’s clumbsy and I think there will be problems with the holux baud rate (38400) and the cameras (4800), at least according to what I have read on a GPS source and camera sources. The cable is around 200 DKK. And the GPS, as I remember it, around 400. But as I write, i don’t think it will (just) work.
  • Forgot to mention the original nikon answer, the Nikon GP-1, which, through Amazon.co.uk is available for 1860 DKK, read the review.

Hope this is useful to someone. If so, please leave a comment about the happiness of your purchase, so I can pick which one I should go for.

UPDATE

Found this favorable review of the N2 geotagger, my main problem with the N2 is that you can only buy from their own home page, and that you have to use paypal. And another favorable review, and yet another one It looks like you can buy it from this shop within the EU domain. The EU price is much higher than price when from the manufacturers home page, probably customs or the like.

Just ordered it, used the cheapest alternative, the makers site, we’ll see if there is a hidden cost somewhere. And the paypal pay was not a problem, I could just enter my visa details, no need to create a paypal account.
