"For me the GPS is one of the features I truly love on the 7DII...I just like GPS...one of the first users of GPS, done Geocaching and everything else and I'm very up to speed on the GPS solutions you mentioned...There are two camps...you either want GPS tagging on your photos or you don't. "
I got the 70D wrong. So, we're even. 
When I do use the GPS, which as it turns out is pretty rare, I tag one photo, and then copy it using the utility. The GPS itself is not very accurate. You can see just how inaccurate if you ever look at the log files on a Map Utility. But, I can see the chore that it could be if you're shooting hundreds of shots several days out of the week.
When I first got the 6D, naturally I left the GPS enabled, not knowing it was draining the battery. Once I discovered all of the new log files that were written overnight, I looked at them on the map, and my camera was seemingly sleepwalking.
It was all over the house, and even into the backyard. The camera location varied widely, but seemed within a circle centered at the camera's actual location. The radius of that circle must have been as large as 20-30 feet for some points. Once I saw that, I realized there was little point to leaving the GPS enabled if I am at single venue. I stamp my first shot or so, and then disable it. It's more likely to report an inaccurate location than an accurate one, anyway.

I agree that the built-in GPS is not very accurate - probably does not have WAAS (wide area augmentation system) but I don't really need it to be very accurate. A few years back I took a 2-week trip to China, covering multiple cities sometimes within the same day and I had my 5D mark III with me - no GPS. I figured that I could remember where the pictures would be taken but 2000 pictures later, I've got the whole thing mixed up...to this day, I can't recall where half of my pictures were taken. All I need is from what city or area the photo was taken...no accuracy required :).
