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

I have the exact same problem with my Canon R6 and Camera Connect, with both the old version and the new version of the app, I've seen no change (iPhone 11 Pro Max). The only way that I can get correct GPS information while I'm walking around is to keep turning the camera off and on all the time, otherwise I just get the location when the camera was first turned on for all pictures. The camera is always perfectly connected to the app, it's not a connection issue. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4667994
