I like it.
It's the most convenient way to geotag. I mount mine on my strap (an UpStrap kevlar) as I use a digital level on the hotshoe.
A bit slow to pick up the satellites is the only con I see.
The price is worth it to me. I don't want to upload photos into separate software to sync the photos. I won't have any photo GPS device that doesn't write to EXIF at the time of the shoot. But that's me.

www.dtowntv.com/2009/03/nikon-gp-1-review/ says otherwise.
I'll stick with my Garmin satnav and keeping the right time on my cameras.

Such an overpriced, underwhelming gadget to me. I think it is about 30-40% overpriced for what it does. Yet, it seems as though so many blindly bought it, sight unseen.

Does anyone know if the GP-1 will record speed in the data, say if you're in an airplane or in a car or boat?

The di-GPS mini II costs $138 + S&H, this is the one I'm getting (and the one Kelby advertizes on its DTownTV episode 1 at ~5:50). I think the Nikon unit is way overpriced at $239.

FYI - The di-GPS mini II costs $138 + S&H = $180. Scott Kelly in his blog even said that the reason he didn't feature the GP-1 is because he doesn't have one yet and he will as soon as it comes in. I'd like to see him do a comparison.

I am using the Jobo PhotoGPS the only con is that a additional step is required to link the gps data to the jpg images. Software does not like RAW files.

With the GP-1 mounted on the hotshoe, does the GP-1 unit block the pop-up flash that the D700 has?

>$138 + S&H = $180
This is why we are ordering 4 at once :-) Besides that it appears to be quite smaller than the Nikon unit, and it mounts transversally (i.e. intelligently), unlike the Nikon unit... and at least we know there is a 20-channels SiRF Star III chipset in the di-GPS, i.e. the best GPS receiver to date...

Freelancer_Imaging $42 for shipping and handling?
Oh. I see. It's shipping from Hong Kong. So that probably includes import duty. No local distributors?
pohutukawa2008 You don't have to mount a GPS on the hotshoe. You can put some velcro on it and the other velcro on your flash so you can use both at the same time.
The only drawback to using the 10-pin connector is that if you use an IR remote release, it also needs the 10-pin connector. I'd like to see everything that uses that connector to have a pass-through connector on it so that the next accessory could be daisy-chained.
Looking at the di-GPS site, I see that the Pro-L version has the daisy chain connector. More money.

The Nikon GP-1 does have a pass through. However I am not sure if it is a 10 pin connection.

$42 for shipping is still a bit much even all fees inclusive. My GN-1 (also a sirfstar 3 based unit) was under $100 including shipping from HK.

The GP-1 has a pass-through for the MC-DC2 remote, which uses the same port on the D90 that the GP-1 uses. There is no 10-pin pass-through on the GP-1.
It also comes with a clip to fasten it to your camera strap; it's mounted on the hotshoe only for convenience's sake.

Here's a demo of how the GP-1 looks like when attached to a Nikon D300 on an actual photo-shoot on an actual test inside my sala here in Baldwin Park, California -
Click the photo and go to the rightside - and click map ... and presto!
