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

I have 5D4 and one other Canon body that has built-in GPS which I love because of some of these wandering out of the way trips I make. I was thinking about maybe getting one of the R bodies but I don't know how hard it is to synchronize where you make photos to your cell phone and then paste the location to your photo files.

Would appreciate any comments.

I mentioned that as soon as the specs came out in another thread.. without GPS.. one of the missing options that is a deal breaker for me with a camera costing near $4K US.. we travel( or were traveling ) a lot..  madness.. not into syncing with GPS software when a R5 or R6 should have it built in at the prices they are asking.. Canon obviously is marketing the video side of these cameras.. I have NO use for video..

I'll stay with my 6DMkII DSLR with GPS and WiFi built-in-- was hoping for a 7DMKIII to upgrade to -- but that is now only a dream--never happen

my Canon 6DMkII sure beats using that ol' Petri 7s 35mm back in 1967 in RVN
