X-E3, bluetooth & GPS geotagging, how well does it work?

Bluetooth feature of the X-E3 is a big deciding factor for me. Firmware 1.10 update on Jan 15, 2018 seems to have improved GPS Geotagging.

  • How well does the GPS geotagging work? Automatic or phone app launch need each time?
  • Simple, Reliable & Seamless?
  • Battery drain on phone/camera?

I gave up using geotagging on the X-T1 with my android app.

  • Too many button presses on both camera & phone.
  • Wifi takes too long to sync up when I can even get it done at all.
  • The app is finicky, had to resort to putting phone into airplane mode before it would sync.
  • Only time I use the app now is for the remote, but try to avoid it as much as possible.
