Solmeta Geotaggers come with exchange cable for D200-700, D90 or D5000. Both, Solmeta and Dawntech use L-connectors on D90/D5000 instead of the stupid straight connector of Nikon GP-1. And they have much more features like indoor function, logger even some with compass for saving the direction of view: http://www.gps-camera.eu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=207 (Use google translate on the right top for English) Dawntech has now units especially for D90 and D5000, too.

Just thought I'd let other folks know. Maybe there is a redesign in the works. I did check other sites and compare prices and all were in the standard $200+ range so a new version seems unlikely. For some reason Amazon has a really good price on the GP-1. Thanks Terry for pointing me to a REALLY GOOD DEAL! I just purchased the GP-1 from your link to Amazon for $119.89!

See this link from Moose Peterson regarding the issue he had: http://www.moosenewsblog.com/2009/07/not-the-best-design-nikon/. Terry,

After reading your review a long with Scott's and Moose's review I went ahead and ordered one. I'm heading to Glacier National Park on Sunday and really wanted to geotag my photos. I will post another reply when I get back to let you know how well it worked for me. Also you can get the GP-1 for $205.00 at Adarama. Terry,

There is no reason why you couldn't just attach it to the strap. It's designed to work both ways. So YES, you can still use your flash or any other hotshoe accessory. SteveP,

"It does what it's supposed to." It's supposed to only allow geotagging of daylight non-fill flash shots? Is there something here I'm not aware of? Otherwise this seems incredibly restrictive. It SEEMS like there should be an alternative. I’ve been interested, but why oh why does it use the flash connection?
