Can I pair this with my phone so that *it* acts as the GPS Receiver instead of buying a DSLR GPS?

I actually bought it for something else. Do you want to have remote live view and trigger from your DSLR ? If you do send another question and I will send some details so you can have something like CamRanger but at around 40 instead of 250. Hope that helps. Phil

The adapter must be plugged into a squarish port on Nikon DSLR cameras called an "accessory port", the same port used by the Nikon GP-1 hot-shoe GPS (Promote Systems also makes a similar hot-shoe GPS). If you don't want to use the hotshoe setup you buy this device which can communicate with at least two GPS trackers I am aware of, QStars and Holux connecting via Bluetooth. There are now DSLR's coming out that have internal GPS but this is the setup you need if you have a DSLR from Nikon or Canon manufactured in the past five or six years. It will not work with any smartphone GPS I am aware of.

I don't think so. The user manual does not list an iPhone or iPod (or any Apple device, for that matter) in the Bluetooth compatibility list. Aokatec states that it is compatible with devices that are compatible with Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP), support standard NMEA0183 protocol and use PIN/Passkey 0000. Apple iDevices diverge from those requirements somehow. For example, I have another GPS unit that has a mode switch for "iPod/iPhone" and "Everything Else".In short, it's the Bluetooth interface that is the problem.I've paired mine with one of the QStarz products and it works great with that.

I've not seen that ability in the menus. Only to connect to a phone and to use the GPS as the audio.

Yes and it will also depend on the program or app and how will you use it. Pair it via computer or smartphone.

This is strictly a receiver, it will not record or show data. It is meant to be used as a tool for a program that needs accurate GPS info

I don't see why not as long as you have the input on the camera but I have a t3i

The manufacturer sells a separate GPS module which works with the camera, but I do not know if it will accept a module other than the manufacturer's own.

No. Don't think you can use any phone GPS with this unit to tag photos. You have to use a separate dedicated GPS to pair with it. I use a Qstarz q1000xt.

Absolutely. You can pair to your mobile device with those apps and another com system, gps, etc.

I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

I use it with a nikon D5100 and works great, so I guess it does. You'll still need the GPS receiver, I use: BT-Q818XT: Qstarz BT-Q818XT 10Hz Bluetooth GPS Receiver

This requires one of several Garmin GPS watches to work, such as the 310xt, 910xt, etc. It is not a standalone device. I don't know of any phone apps that can be used with it.

Yes you can and there are many ways to accomplish it... I have four GPS units. One is in my Van, the GPSMAP for geocashing and kayaking and I have for my bicycle. All Garmin and out of all of them my favorite one is the 62St. I have though about selling it several times because I do not kayak anymore and it is really bulky for the bicycle but because it is very good when it comes to receiving from satellites I hold on to it.... Very accurate and built really solid......

I doubt it. I have found the device very unreliable. Half the time it will not pick up a GPS signal.

You would have to buy gps component. I can't assure the reliable or the GPS but I do know this is an option for this unit google planet audio for the model type.

No ..... Just an internal GPS to let you know where you're at during 'picture taking' .... ;-)

You must have the garmin or navigon app on a smart phone for this to work. It's not compatible or meant to pair with any GPS system
