Travel Camera request

Does anyone know of a good travel camera with both GPS and weather resist (WR)? I really like the Pana zs100 but in a travel camera should not one wish for GPS and WR? Checking with DPReview and nothing of note shows up except the Oly TG-4.
Thanks

Try the Canon SX 60. It's not weather resistant, but it's a good camera and saves you packing around a ton of extra lenses.

Om e5 is great with 14 42 lens which lays flat for minimum size and I think is weather proof. Otherwise sony rx100, for compact with large sensor and great pictures, but may not be weatherproof -has long battery life also. Good luck!

Are you looking at a compact point & shoot camera or merely a smaller, lighter interchangeable lens camera that is also weather resistant?

to use the GPS on the TG-4 you must be connected to your smart phone. This is done wirelessly.

The Nikon 1 AW is an all weather camera, but I think it has no GPS. However it might be a good option for you. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1006602-REG/nikon_27669_1_aw1_mirrorless_digital.html

Thanks everyone. I am looking for a small Either P&S or something like the new Pana GX850 with a flat lens. I will not be taking it into the water.

looks like it's on sale...with the 12-32, which is a great kit lens.

This will replace my Pana LX-3. Low light capabilities would be nice.
