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

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.

This is exactly my experience, which makes it pretty worthless. This past weekend, I paired the camera and phone, got GPS going while at the boat launch. Every single photo I took is now gps tagged for the boat launch, even photos taken as much as two miles away. With the 7DII w/adapter, and the 5DIV, I could easily return to a particular spot where I found a bird nest or whatever. With the Camera Connect option that is impossible.

Good news is, this is the only "con" I have found with the R5, everything else has been positive in a big way.
