It can be handy but I have had Camera Connect show the correct location for the first shot but each subsequent shot had the same location for photos hundred of feet away. The external GP-E2 works better although I have known it to sometimes be fifty feet off.

50 feet indoors can be the very nature of GPS signal progation and will not be easily guaranteed better than that due to reflection of signals from nearby objects, walls and buildings. If you are located with a clear sky view and free from multipath sometimes it can be wihin fractions of a inch accurate but that is hardly a guarantee and more of a miracle IMO.
