Hello Ian,
I came across this link for making a GPS for D300 camera and found out that you are one of them successfully doing it.

You are saying also that MWA scheme is right but just to swap the pin 3 and 4. I did follow those scheme and did mine. But somehow the GPS module LED is just only lit, never flashing so I only get my GPS indicator always flashing in my D300. I tried about 20 minutes or so but never get satellite locked. I tried to use the power from the camera or external with same result.

Is there something that I missed? Thank you for any input.

Hi Will

No it won’t work on your D40 unfortunately! It doesn’t have the Nikon 10-pin connector. It is only supported by Nikon’s higher spec model D100, D200, D300, D700, D2 series, D1 series, D3 and D3X if I am not mistaken. Nikon D90 supports GPS but via a different connector.

Hi Zoe,

This will only work with Nikon DSLRs! Canon’s GPS solution is rather expensive.

Has anyone out there ever attached a GPS device to a webcam along with an 3-Axis Orientation device for pitch, yaw and roll or otherwise Quaternion rotation ? I’m looking to wirelessly transmit video in real-time back to a server with the Triangulation and Orientation info at the same time and I could use some advice for interlinking the parts I have.
If anyone out there can give me a few tips or a website I could check it would greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Jacob

Thanks again for the post Rick

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the inspiration and step by step instructions on how to build a simple and cheap GPS for the Nikon dslr. I just finished building one for my Nikon D700.

I use a Garmin GPS on my Nikon D1x with just a short cord with a stereo mini pin. What I NEED is something similar for my new D300. If I knew the correct pins to plug into the 10 pin connector I should be able to connect the Garmin’s 2 pins ( 1-out, 1-in) to the 10 pin Nikon female connector on the camera for the same results i get with my D1x, RIGHT???
