How does this device works? I mean, does it write geo information in moment raw file is written on flash card? And what this geographic information is looks like (x:y geo location or the name of place)?
the D70 does not have the pin connector for this device. You have to use a timestamp method to add the location data to your photos' EXIF information. This is done by carrying a GPS with you when you shoot, and using some software (there are free examples on the net, including one from MicroSoft) to match waypoints from the GPS with the time stamp on your photos.

It is written in the EXIF information as coordinates.
I love the idea of it, but I hate the ergonomics of it. My D200 feels great as is.
I will wait until they eventually implement a Bluetooth version on a future body. :)
Some Cameras have the ability to take GPS data and write it to the exif meta data, the Nikon d200 is a good example (and my personal camera)
This would not work with just any camera, you have to have built in support for it.
Oh, thanks for replys and information.
I've D70, do you know if it has an ability to write GPS data?
