Product Description
Connects GPS devices to D2X and D2Hs via PC cable supplied by manufacturer of GPS device.
Amazon.com
Designed for Nikon SLR digital cameras that are equipped with a 10-pin accessory connector, the Nikon MC-35 GPS adapter cord connects to a GPS unit so you can record the latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC (coordinated universal time) of the shots you take. The adapter cord is compatible with GPS units that comply with the NMEA 0183 (v2.01) interface standard. In addition, the GPS receiver must send data out through a D89 serial port output (not USB), as the MC-35 has a serial connection only.

 Nikon GPS adapter Cord October 23, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Cord works as advertised, providing half the interface to a Garmin GPS but it has several disconcerting characteristics
1. Cord adapts compatible Nikon SLRs to GPs units so that GPS data can be recorded in EXIF files. However the cord termininates in an RS 232 connector and a 2nd cord with RS-232 to Garmin interface is required for the GPS data transfer to occur. A single cord with Nikon to Garmin connectors would be much more convenient
2. The RS-232 connectors have 2 screws to insure that this connection doesn't separate. Howver the threads and sockets are mismatched so the screws can't be used. On occasion my RS 232 coupling separated
3. The NIkon cord is very expensive and very short. The Garmin portion of the cable pair is much longer and 1/3 the price of the Nikon cord

It's a cable with a box at one end; what's there to review? For one thing the picture is misleading because the cord I got had the ferrite "toffee" at one end which makes it an unsightly/unwieldy thing. As soon as I got it, I ripped the box part of it apart and proceeded to hack into it, integrating a Globalsat GPS in a nifty little project box. Now, I have a very compact MC35 cord with a GPS integrated within; this combination allows me to still connect a remote using the 10 pin connector as well as add GPS info into the EXIF

The Nikon 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 disappointing to experience this type of issue with a genuine Nikon accessory.
 Nikon MC-35 GPS Adapter Cord for D3, D300, D2HS / D2X Digital Cameras January 24, 2008

Great cord for hooking up your GPS unit and Nikon compatible camera. This allows you to record the longitude, latitude, elevation, and heading. The only downside is making sure that the GPS unit is pointed in the same direction as the camera and the GPS is not in "sleep" mode. My camera, the D300, will let you know if the GPS is not active. As a professional, it's nice to be able to locate those special locations by just looking at the image data and also knowing what direction you were shooting.

I purchased one of these units for my D200 in June 2006 when they were in quite short supply. The price is a bit high but for effortless GPS tagging of photographs, nothing beats the Nikon solution. The only thing that is still missing (even from the D3/D300) is a 'GPS' indicator in the viewfinder. Since the 'GPS' indicator is only visible on the top screen of the camera you are generally unaware if the GPS has lost it's signal until after the picture has been taken.
