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

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

I have an interest in archaeology, and have found the inbuilt GPS module and the magnetic compass in my Eos 7D Mk II very useful, for not only recording where I am, but also the compass direction of any photographs.  Hopefully both facilities will be included in some new R series bodies in the future.

(On a practical note, the GPS does use battery power, and the smaller batteries in the R series aren't helpful in this respect, but in due course, the GPS and magnetic compass may be developed to be less power hungry.  I can always hope...)
