just burns batteries on already battery hungry cameras!

1) GPS power consumption was barely noticeable in my 5D4

2) Would you rather carry an external GPS gadget, or a spare battery?

Given the current bodies, both released and announced, I would like to see a GP-E3 using the new multi-function shoe for both data and power. It should make it a bit smaller, no need to fit an AA battery anymore. It can't be tiny with a decent antenna, but I'll take any size reduction I can get.
