Forgive if this has been requested before: I looked and could not see any reference.

With the release of the Canon GPS adaptor, I wonder if Magic Lantern coud be used to extract the relevant EXIF info for those 'older' cameras that can not access the GPS info directly.

Cheers

From Canon website:
QuoteUSB connection only with the EOS 7D
...
The EOS 5D Mark III and EOS 7D require a firmware upgrade to be compatible with the GPS Receiver GP-E2, which will be available soon.

Maybe, if it doesn't involve intellectual property issues.

At some point I've got lost at night in a huge park when shooting a timelapse, and a GPS device with a map could have saved me half an hour of reverse engineering the way out of there.

With the GPS adapter you get the geo info of the shot you took.

But the new canon GPS unit only works with the very latest camera, ie 5d kk iii
