I downloaded the Nikon D5300 A-GPS file (NML_28A.ee) from Nikon's Download Center, formatted an SD card in the camera, and copied the file to the card. When I choose Menu > Setup > Location data > GPS Options > Update A-GPS data, the camera says "No A-GPS file found on card."
What folder should the file be placed in, and are there any card format requirements?

It looks like the problem was that you created the NIKON folder inside the DCIM folder, rather than at the root of SD card's filesystem. From the section Updating the A-GPS File (D5300) at the A-GPS file's download center page (the same one you linked to):
Copy the file to the "NIKON" folder on the camera memory card using a computer with a built-in memory card slot or a third-party memory card reader. The "NIKON" folder should be in the root (top) directory of the memory card; if a "NIKON" folder does not already exist in this location, create one before proceeding.
Move the NIKON folder out of the DCIM folder to the root directory, and you should be good to go.

The file needs to be in a NIKON folder at the root of the SD card, not inside DCIM.
Use this layout:
- SD card root
NIKONNML_28A.ee
So if you placed NIKON inside DCIM, the D5300 won’t find it.
Also make sure the card is formatted in a camera-compatible format such as FAT/FAT32 rather than exFAT. A safe workflow is:
- Format the card in the D5300.
- On your computer, create a folder named NIKON in the card’s top-level directory.
- Copy the
.eefile into that folder. - Reinsert the card and run Update A-GPS data again.
That should allow the camera to detect the A-GPS file.
