I don't generally use or include the GPS information in my posted photos from any of my cameras that had or have GPS capability in the camera. I don't find it generally all that useful for my photography because I'm either not going to be back at a particular location if it's 'out there' to shoot again, or because I know exactly, intimately where a photo was made anyway and can get back there easily. Since most of my photography is not documentarian in intent anyway, where a photo was made is only rarely of much importance to the intent.
It is fun to see where photos that have the GPS info are on the LR Map display, however. :) And if I feel that I want GPS information in a photo that I'm posting, for some reason, I usually know that when I make the photo and just snap another shot of the scene with my iPhone camera, then copy and paste the GPS information over to the main camera's image file. Takes two seconds, and my iPhone is nearly always with me anyway—no need for a dedicated GPS device.
