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 thought it a step backwards. All my 5D and 1D cameras have it. Assumed standard issue, but apparently not so.

Years ago I had purchased Canon's external GPS and it works fine from its perch above the camera. Sometimes I take pictures of a threatened species bird and it is imperative to have lats / longs for shots like that.

I hope the R3 brings it back.

And while I'm at it, how can they call the 1DX3 the flagship when it doesn't have an internal intervalometer like 5D camera's do? "Flagship" means, or should mean, that it don't want for nothing.
