Connecting a GPS Device

When connecting a GPS device via a serial cable, be sure that the cable is connected to the camera’s RS-232C serial interface terminal and that a 2.5-mm stero mini-jack is used for con- nection to the camera. Using another type of connector or inserting the connector into another terminal could damage the camera or cable.

Compatible GPS Devices

GARMIN or MAGELLAN GPS devices compatible with the NMEA0183 ver. 2.01 protocol can be used with you camera. (NMEA=National Marine Electronics Association)

Operation has been confirmed with the following GPS devices:

•GARMIN GPS III

•MAGELLAN COLORTRAK

Because cables for connecting GPS devices to the camera are not available from Nikon, the user must supply a suitable cable. The RS-232 terminal on the camera is designed to fit a 2.5 mm stereo mini-jack. To connect the camera and the GPS device, a GND line and Data-Out line (Data-Out here refers to the GPS device) are required. The GND line from the GPS device must be connected to the GND line from the 2.5 mm stereo mini-jack. The Data-Out line from the GPS device must be connected to the Data-In line from the 2.5 mm stereo mini-jack.
