From the product specs/description it seems like the hotshoe doesn't support direct geotagging, so it must be cabled to the USB port on the camera. Kinda defeats the purpose of a hotshoe unit IMO. 5DIII | 40D | 17-40 f4L | Tamron 28-75 2.8 | 50 1.4 | 70-200 2.8L | Oly Zuiko 50 macro | Tamron 1.4x

I'd rather have a GPS that mounts to the hotshoe and connects with a cable so that it can LOCK to the camera than something hanging off the usb port.
