Wouldn't be without it!
I have had the GP-1 attached to my D3 for just over a year now and wouldn't think of being without it. In fact I plan to buy another for the other body. I have traveled all over Australia and most of Western North America with it and find it as dependable as any GPS Equipment out there. I have read all the concerns about battery and slow start up but have never found any of this to be a problem. Having the geo-data with all my shots makes this one very important tool.

Silent Traveling Companion
I've spent the last 12 months driving 28,000 miles in North America from the Arctic to the tip of Florida and both East and West coasts. The whole time the GPS-1 was attached to my camera bouncing around in the center shelf of my truck. Even flying through the off-road 4x4 trails couldn't rattle it. Yea, it's slow to start and eats batteries when left on as I do but it works all the time.
It's an essential tool in reviewing where, when and how pictures were taken. Gotta love geotagging for travel photography. Just got a D7000 and works great on it also.

Its all about location
I am an avid outdoors nature photographer and enjoy hiking and carrying my Nikon equipment to capture every detail along the trails. This year I purchased this GP-1 unit to assist me with tagging my location shots. It is easy to use and requires nothing more than attaching it to your camera. Yes - It allows pass through for your shutter release cable which I find useful for my HDR work. Even in heavy wooded areas it locks on a GPS signal within 8 seconds of activation.
Lets face it all of us forget things and I find myself guessing sometime where I took a particular photo at - with this unit tagging my photos with GPS data no more guessing. Worth the price, go get yourself one!

Works Great
Had mine about 20 months and on both a D5000 and a D7000. Taken over 20k pics traveling by truck from Alaska to Florida and to both coasts without issue. Except one that prevents it from getting 5 stars. Power consumption, it eats batteries. Using a battery grip helps but keep a few extra batteries nearby.
I charge mine in the truck between locations.
Really like knowing exactly where I shot a photo previously so I may return when the weather/light is just right.

Great EXIF data
The GP-1 is a very lightweight (less than an ounce), compact (about 2x2 inches) GPS receiver that simply feeds coordinates to the camera, which automatically embeds the GPS data in each image's exchangeable image file (EXIF).
Once the coordinates are embedded in EXIF, your photos are automatically geotagged when uploaded to popular photo sites such as Flickr and Panaramio. Data captured and embedded in EXIF by the GP-1 includes latitude, longitude, altitude, and heading. Also, many photo management software products use GPS/geotag data to perform handy services such as grouping your photos by location. (In the future, I hope Nikon enables you to toggle between meters and feet for altitude. Currently, you can only do meters).
Overall, the GP-1 is a terrific, if somewhat pricey, accessory for the geotagging hobbyist or for professionals who need to automatically capture and embed highly accurate position data with photos.

Answer:
GPS devices detect these signals and use them to triangulate their position, heading, speed, altitude and other information. This location information can be embedded in an image to show the photographer where the camera was when the photo was taken. This positioning information in a photo is useful for sorting and cataloging images. Just remember that the GPS information recorded is representative of where the camera is located, and not necessarily where the subject is located. The focal length of the lens may contribute to a difference in accuracy.5 months ago

Yes and the cable is supplied with the unit
My GP-1 won't turn on. It won't show a red light nor green light and the camera won't recognize it. I am using it with a 3 month old D7000. The GPS unit might be 2 months old.

Answer:
The GP-1 GPS unit and compatible release cables utilize the Ten-pin remote terminal (can't use both at the same time).
I recently arrived in India and my GPS 1 unit will not acquire a signal.
I've taken it outside in a an open area and still no luck.
I have also turned the GPS Auto Meter off so it'll keep looking but still no luck.
Hoping someone might have a suggestion
In the past, when I've arrived somewhere, the unit has taken a long time to initially acquire a signal, and always has, but not so this time.

Answer:
GPS tracking typically requires an initial startup period to acquire satellites. This period may vary depending on available satellites and atmospheric conditions. If you experience a connection problem initially, do not move the GPS device for up to 20 minutes under a clear sky to establish connection (may take longer if cloudy). If the device is new or has been moved since last acquisition, it may require time to re-establish connection. Once acquired, subsequent acquisitions should be faster. If the unit has been moved a great distance ( several hundred miles or more ), then re-acquisition of the GPS signal will of course be necessary.
