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

If I put a picture from my camera onto my Android phone micro SD card, the Photos app will sooner or later append the location of my phone at the time, whether that camera's compatible with a GPS unit or not.

If you took a pic with the phone at each location and just dropped it into the same collection, you could use it to set the location for the rest. Just need the clocks on the two to match, and that phone does need to have a location (do they need a cell network or just open air?)

Just enough satellites for a GPS fix. That method's located pictures from my original EOS M and my RX100. Of course, your phone has to be switched on with location enabled, and in your pocket rather than at your digs.  It's the Photos app that does the position matching.  An iPhone can put the location of its pictures into the EXIF data precise to the micron, even if it's only accurate to 3-20m.
