Product Description
Go where photography is headed with the Promote GPS! Now photographers can harness GPS technology to pinpoint the precise location from which a photograph is taken. Called “geotagging”, this new technology embeds geographic information into a photograph along with the time and date stamp. The Promote GPS Receiver features the SiRF Star III chip, which excels at acquiring and maintaining a GPS signal lock. The GPS unit consumes less than 55mA from the camera, making it one of the most power-efficient GPS receivers available for Nikon and Fuji DSLR cameras. It will automatically power up and down along with camera exposure meter, allowing for further saving of the camera batterypower. Promote GPS is compatible with the following DSLR cameras: Nikon D300, D700, D3, D2X, D2Xs, D2Hs, D200 Fuji S5 Pro, IS Pro

I have found this device works as advertised. Although the receiver mounts on the camera shoe I would prefer to keep the shoe open. I have ordered a strap holder that was for the Nikon GPS which is quite a bit more expensive.

Works extremely well. Lightweight, captures Sats quickly, Meta Data includes Lat/Lon and altitude. Free Geo-Track software on the Promote website. If you want to be accurate about where you took your photo’s, this unit is for you. Nikon NX-2 software shows GPS data. Had one question and the company anwered it via email the very same day. Great customer service which is, unfortunately, very rare these days.

I ordered this from Adorama via Amazon , so it got from NY to New Zealand in just a bit over 3 days. I should have paid less for freight ( USD 76 or 116 NZD or half a days work for white middle class Joe’s ) and let it take a week.
Unit is what I wanted and was hopeful of getting. About 15 seconds to get a fix from camera power up. Even with the freight, this has got to be incredible value. Well done, gush gush.

As someone already noted, this unit DOES NOT work with Nikon D90. However, they just came out with a model that indeed DOES work with D90: the GPS-N90. It’s basically the same thing except it is D90 compatible. As of this writing it is still not in stock anywhere that I could find, but it should be out soon.

I have been using the GPS for about an hour and it is working great. I took the camera and gps outside for it to get its first lock. I have 3 different GPS’s similar to this and the only downside to all of them is that hey do not work well indoors.
It is overcast with some rain today and it locked in 30 seconds when I went outside.
