Why don't new 'travel' cameras have GPS?

Why?
(I know better than to ask the second question. Canada, for example, wants to lock you ip if you bring a small personal pepper spray into the country. But you are welcome to bring the much larger and more potent bear spray. Go figure.)

You can add an app to your smart phone, like GPS Tracks, or Geotag Photos, and while photographing, start the app. Afterwards, export the GPX file that the app creates to Lightroom. In Maps in Lightroom, upload the GPX file, and the when you import the images you took while running the app, they will be automatically geotagged, added to Maps, and saved with the metadata of that image.

Columbus nGPS is an add on GPS unit that I use on my NIKON D5200 it does not adversely effect battery life. It fits on the hot shoe and has a cable to connect it to the camera.

My Nikon Coolpix AW100 has GPS as does the current AW130. I usually have it in my jacket pocket as part of my edc. I'm too old to always carry a DSLR as I did in the film days.

Your original question was "why" manufacturers do not include GPS. I would think such is a function of cost vs most requested features. I remember an article written some time ago listing the features of a camera desired most by the public. (Maybe someone reading this can remember where that article was?) On the list of most desirable features the GPS was way down near the bottom.
