My Canon 1Dx MkII has built in GPS and it works wonderfully. My older 1D MkIII doesn’t and I think the Canon add on was $500-$600 which was not worth it to me for my use at the time. I think if it is something that I really wanted or needed I would try to get a body with it built in from the factory.

Yes, you have stated some of my concerns with a Canon product. Besides, years ago, I put a Canon GPS device on my camera, and it worked only intermittently. Plus, I found it confusing to operate. The device seemed like an afterthought.
I await an experienced cameraman who has used such device to provide some guidance here.
