I think I've turned it on a couple of times. Don't remember when or why. I've
also used the Astrotrace function a couple of times.
Looking at the photo in the announcement, it looks like it doesn't have a pop-up
flash. IIRC, the reason the K-1 doesn't have a pop-up flash was to make room for
the GPS.
If the K3 III doesn't have GPS, what are they using that space for?

Hi All!
In the K3-III thread, people have been disappointed about the lack of the GPS
capability in the new APS flagship.
So, that got me thinking: how do people use GPS in their cameras?
What are the "use cases"?
I can see that people using astrotracers might need GPS. Also, if you are taking
travel photographs, it might help you to create a "photo journal/map" of your trip.
But what about outside of those cases?
K-1 is the first dedicated camera (i.e. outside of the cell phone) that has a
GPS capability, but I have not turned it on yet.
(I was thinking about doing that during the trip to Yellowstone/Grand Teton
parks, but I didn't have good spare batteries on hand, so, I was preserving the
batteries, as one day I got very close to empty.)
Also, all my export presets in LR have "remove location" from the photos, - to
avoid some unnecessary accidental exposure with the photos posted to the web. (I
am not a celebrity, and not being stalked, but it is just a general privacy
precaution.)
Cheers,
Igor
