So does the D200, but the adapter cable is expecting to see an
old-fashioned
serial port at the other end. The last GPS I bought that had a serial
port
was my Garmin V. I replaced that some time ago with an eTrex Vista Hcx,
which uses a USB port as do all the newer units. Anyway, I use a system
that doesn't require the camera to be tethered to a receiver.
www.robogeo.com. It works flawlessly, and there's a bunch of stuff you
can
do with the data.

Now that is WAY cool.

When I start using my E-3, I'll have to get one of those.

Unless I misunderstood what you're saying, it's not really a "one of
those"
situations.

No - you didn't - I did. I thought it was something a little
different.

It's been one of those days.

It's a software solution, not a hardware solution. It works
under the assumption that you're already carrying a hand-held GPS on your
person while out in the field, which I do. It works like this:

1. At the beginning of the day, synchronize the camera clock to the clock
in your GPS receiver. Easy to do.

Ok - I get it now.

Still pretty cool.

Not quite as cool as I thought it was, but high on the list. :>)

And only $40.

Cheap at twice the price.

I've been messing around with Photoshop CS4 extended - that is one
complicated program.
