The Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord is designed for Nikon DX2 DSLR cameras that are equipped with a 10-pin accessory connector. Its function is to support the recording of location information such as latitude, longitude, altitude and UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) at which a shot is taken.
This information can be recorded from a GPS unit to the image's metadata, and is compatible with GPS units that comply with the NMEA 0183 (ver.2.01) interface standard. The GPS receiver must send data out through a DB9 serial port out and not USB as the MC-35 has a connection for serial only.

Comments about Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord:
It works as advertised, but [$] (not including the GPS receiver itself) for a cable is excessive, even by Nikon's standards, and the combination is very clunky (you have to find a way to secure the dangling GPS).The Geopic II, on the other hand, is a compact all-in-one solution that fits neatly on the flash hot-shoe.

Comments about Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord:
If you shoot off the beaten path, you need to know where that great shot was taken and, if you want to find that spot again, you need this cable to connect your GPS to your camera. Invaluable.

Comments about Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord:
The adapter cord works as advertised to tether a GPS unit to the camera. Easy to use and install. I would have been happier if the cord were shorter, about 10".

Comments about Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord:
The threads on my unit fit fine once you line up the
the 10 pin connector properly.
I hooked up my Garmin Etrex Vista and it works great.
I just wish it was cheaper.

Comments about Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord:
The MC-35 has a locking 10 pin connector at one end for the camera, and a standard 9 pin D-sub
connector at the other end for connection to your Garmin or Magellan computer interface cable or(serial Port Cable)Just one Problem! the female threads on the MC-35 D-sub side are incorrect, they are very fine pitch threads that will not allow you to secure your GPS interface cable for use out in the field. While this setup can work without securing the interface cable screws, it is unacceptable for a genuine Nikon accessory to be flawed this way...
