I have gps enabled on my camera.

i transfer through photos on my macbook.

i have connected the camera directly and tried the sd card. the gps data is not transferred either way.

EOS utility will not open on my macbook.

i can transfer the same images to my phone and it gives me the option to transfer with gps, and it does. I just dont want to have to transfer them to my phone and then to my macbook.

please help!!

Your camera does not have GPS built in, it works with the Canon Camera Connect app to transfer the GPS info from the phone at the time of capture.
If GPS info is captured with the image then it is written in to the image files themselves. First check the image has GPS info on the camera. Press the playback button then press the INFO button to show the detailed info with the histogram. Now use the down key on the back of the camera to scroll down and one of the panels will show the GPS info in the picture. If this is blank then no GPS data was added at the time of the capture.

Thank you. Since you told me how to check the info on the camera, I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I thought since GPS was flashing on the camera, that meant it was working. Now I know that’s not what it means. 🤣
