Wireless GPS

G'day all,
I wondered if anyone here has had any experience with wireless GPS on Nikons? I contacted Oliver from www.foolography.com/unleashedxmas.php and he was extremely helpful.
Has anyone tried this solution? I like the idea of it being wireless (bluetooth) so I could keep the GPS in the camera bag / back pack.
thanks,
Morten

G'day Morten,
I'd recommend the www.di-gps.com/di-GPS/n2.htm over a bluetooth option. This unit is tiny, powered by the camera doesn't need a separate gps and lets you use a remote release and gps at the same time.
Thanks,
Aaron Spence.

Morten,
I use the combination of geosetter.de and www.transystem.com.tw/p-gps-iblue747.htm bluetooth logger. Prefer it to the solutions integrated with the body.
The biggest problem with Oliver's solution - it occupies 10 pin connector, which I use for wireless remote.

Hi,
since two of you have commented on remote releases, I figured I'd answer personally.
I designed this Bluetooth unit primarily with my own needs and wants in mind, but of course tried to incorporate every possible wish potential customers could have into the design. That, along with my perfectionistic side made the whole process pretty tough!! but I did manage.
Since I like taking 360 degree Pano's as well, allowing remote release usage was one of the most vital ingredients in my design.
Thats why my device has a 2.5mm stereo jack socket, where you can connect a (Canon Digital Rebel style) remote release. These Remote releases are probably the cheapest on the market, as they use a standard 2.5mm stereo jack, and not some proprietary connector such as the nikon 10-pin one. It's also perfect for making your own remote releases, or timers or funky triggers of some other sort.
Also, due to its extremely small design and it sitting directly on the 10-pin port, you'll never need to make sure that it stays out of the image frame, when using ultra-wide angle fisheyes that probably most on this forum will be using . This is not quite so easy with all the alternatives with cables on them.
