Am I the only one "put out" about no GPS in R5 or R6?

I use the Canon Camera Connect app and it mostly works fine - as long as you remember to start the app. The flashing "GPS" in the viewfinder is a good reminder there.

I have had one case using Camera Connect with my R where only the first half of the photos in a shoot were correctly tagged. I'm not sure what happened there. At the time I didn't have the info level set to show the "GPS" flag in the viewfinder and so I don't know if it would have alerted me. That was a shoot where I really needed to have correct GPS information and I was keeping a separate GPS track log "just in case." I was able to use that and HoudahGeo to correct the GPS information. If you really want to be sure...
