Using Camera Connect on my phone for GPS has been surprisingly robust the past year for me. There are still a few untagged photos at the start if I don't wait a few seconds, but no stale coordinates for disconnects during shooting. It is now on par with using a GP-E2, which also causes missing locations if you forget to turn it on in time, which is 5 minutes before shooting.[...]Almost none of their cameras have built in GPS.[...]
I would still prefer builtin GPS or a camera powered GPS through the new fangled hotshoe, but, for me, the phone based GPS has reached "good enough" at this point. I do keep a backup tracklog on my phone all the time, that is for catching untagged photos.
But I'm a hobbyist who doesn't stray outside of cell tower coverage often, so "good enough" for me is likely "hilariously unsuited" for others.
