Any chance that built in GPS is on the roadmap for the EOS R? It really sucks to have the external device to capture location and local time.

The EOS R is going to become a series of bodies with different features(R5, R6, etc). One of the issues with mirrorless cameras is short battery life, and adding power hungry GPS is going to put a even bigger load on the battery. I expect that extending battery life is a high priority, so adding GPS might not happen right away.
On the other hand, if the camera is power-hungry by itself, adding a GPS module will result in a relatively smaller decrease of its battery life.The EOS R is going to become a series of bodies with different features(R5, R6, etc).

I setup my EOS R to use smartphone GPS and turned GPS and Bluetooth on my phone and used Canon Camera connect to connect to my EOS R. It works nice BUT: When I tried to run another GPS application on my mobile to record my path it got disconnected. I guess this is Android's shortcoming. I do have GP-E2 but I had connected it to my EOS 5DsR and had set it for logging so not being able to do the same on the phone didn't matter.
But, once I determined that I should not mess with other gps applications at the same time everything worked smoothly.
How do you lock a phone while shooting pictures?Mine didn't seem to have that problem. I just kept it locked.
