GP-E2 on 7D, enable some of the silly disabled features (like setting the clock)

[ryebrye]

The GP-E2 on the 7D lacks some of the features it has on the other supported models.

One of the more head-scratching ones is it doesn't let you sync your camera clock to the GPS time... but it clearly shows you the time from the GPS on the info screen and it records the GPS time in the EXIF of every shot.

It also doesn't let you use the compass on the GP-E2, which I suspect is also an arbitrary limitation (but this one I'm assuming they imposed because you're not likely to have the compass mounted on a flash bracket or in the hot shoe on a 7D so the compass might not be very reliable)

The lack of tagging videos with GPS data is less of an issue to me - but also seems like a very arbitrary restriction.

... but at the very least - I imagine it would be simple to just enable a "sync camera clock to GPS time" button. I'm at the very least interested in knowing if there is any sort of technical reason Canon wouldn't have enabled that feature on the 7D but did on the rest of the GP-E2 supported cameras.
