I use a Mac Laptop & PC desktop to interface with both components (ideally I’d prefer cross-platform-functionality). The GPS has a mini USB & the D200 has a 10-pin connector. Are the Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cable and Garmin GPS 18 LVC (OEM Series) necessary for my application? Are their functions (supply regulated voltage, signal conversion, etc.) critical or do they just enable connectivity? I don’t have schematics or technical information. I realize in some situations the components are critical, but since there seems to be multiple approaches, I was wondering if it is possible to splice the two connectors to enable data transfer.

It needs to be powered by the camera, but only needs to be in receive mode. I don't see why this needs to be much larger than a US quarter. With this we can then wirelessly interface with any number of COTS Bluethooth GPS units. What have I missed?

I read this before making mine at http://my-equipments.blogspot.com. Since i used a GPS receiver with TTL output, I did not need the costly MC-35 GPS adaptor. You can directly connect the Tx of such a receiver to Pin 1 of the Nikon 10 pin connector. Great Job. I read this before making mine at http://my-equipments.blogspot.com.

However I was just looking at your setup, and I was thinking that you could probably have this setup for around $20-$50. If you think about it, the use of the MC-35 for your setup is not neccessary at all. The usb cable from the Garmin unit can be left in it's original state. Now you would purchase a 10-pin nikon connector, on ebay, you can find cheap versions online for really cheap $20-$50. Once you get the 10-pin connector, modify the free end and add a female USB connector, then you can connect your Garmin GPS unit. This setup can also be extended with a USB extension cable. Simple modification, with no harm done to the Garmin GPS unit. The use of the MC-35 is a waste of money. All it simple does is from camera (USB signals) to TTL convert (USB > Serial converter). So if you think about it, there is no use for a converter at all with your system. All the neccessary pins are already on the camera pin-out. -Vincent First of all great job with the setup.
