 mine died as well November 19, 2009

Seems like a great deal for $80 (saw it is $130 now) compared to the $200 Nikon model. Ergonomics are not great - when it's on your hot shoe it either bangs you in the head or stops the flash from opening, and the cable is too long. Attaching it to the camera strap isn't great either. Didn't have a problem with battery life. and accuracy is very good.
The problem is, on my first multi-day trip, 3 weeks after I got it, it stopped working. Seems like some contacts in the cable broke - it will power on if I jiggle it, but is not usable since it won't stay on. Cable quality is very poor. Just like several other reviewers, contacting support didn't help - other than an auto-reply acknowledging my request I never got a response. Threatening to return the item and writing a bad review didn't help either... luckily I am within my 30 day return window with Amazon, so I will return it for a replacement. Why replacement? Well, I need a GPS on some trips and this is still the cheapest. I will just be very gentle and selective when I am using it and hopefully it will last longer this time...
Works great but fragile August 29, 2009

This little device worked great on a trip to Africa until it broke. The 90 degree connection to the camera is exposed and fragile. I don't know how it broke but now the LEDs will flash for a while and then stop, like an intermittent connection. GPS connection is never locked.
I don't recommend this model. I am trying something else more rugged and reliable.

When it worked, it was just great. But it stopped working after about 3 months during my second field trip. One of the internal data wire was broken which is really rare. Unlike most electronic product has 1 year warrantee, this product does not have any warrantee. So buying it at your own risk.
 Works great when it's not completely broken June 30, 2009

Like other people, my unit broke and I am unable to get it repaired or to get a reply from their support department. I actually did get one reply from their support, but when I asked a clarifying question I got no response, which leaves me 1 month into ownership of this somewhat expensive accessory which I bought specifically for a two month trip to Asia and it is now completely useless.
After considering my options, I think getting a GPS data logger to use with software is a better option. For one, it will work with other camera models. I had thought about switching my Nikon out for another camera, but that meant giving up the GPS data provided by this Macsense device.
If you do plan to go with an on-camera GPS, I would advise against this device. It has some design flaws, and it is clearly not made to withstand actual field use.
Great, but fragile. June 2, 2009

This product is great and it works really well, however has some major flaws. I bought this product to use on a five week stay in Europe, less than 3 weeks into my trip (and from my date of purchase) I'm stuck with a broken GPS unit. This was stored on my D300 in proper camera bags its entire life and still broke. The 90 degree elbow where the chord plugs into the camera split in two, why would they not use metal?
If you plan on using this sparsely or are willing to absolute baby it then go for it, but otherwise I'd just spend the money and get a Solemeta N2 or something else.
