Hi all.

I have never had problems with GPS tagging via camera connect app, but with the last update (the new UI) everything changed.

Tagging still works - there is no problem with connection between camera and smartphone but the location stopped to be updated frequently - so all photos seem to be taken in clusters in single locations.

Last few days I was walking Amsterdam with my camera and all photos seem to be taken in 4 or 5 places. That's very disappointing. Can You confirm if Your setup also has that problem since update?

Im using EOS R5 with FW 1.6.0 and camera connect (iPhone 13 Pro) version 3.0.1.21

Not sure how it works with iOS, but with Android, you'd need to give the app the permission to use GPS while in the background.

But it could well be a bug in the updated app.
