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'm pretty happy with GPS perfomance via BT and Canon Camera Connect app.

On iOS it works flawlesly (which was never case with Sony's Imaging Edge Mobile, which had to be restarted periodically to keep GPS updates working fine).

As iPhone GPS has quite good accuracy (using GPS and GLONASS) - I'm getting photos tagged with 1m precission most time additionaly with altitude information.

I'm also have GP-E2 (I'v never sold it after switching to Sony) but I do not find any superiority with it over mobile link - as R5 does not implement comapss read-out, which is big pitty.

I'm always keeping my iPhone with me, so no problem during making photos.

Br, Pawel.
