As some of you may know, there is a software fault in the 6D that causes the GPS to remain on when the camera is powered down, causing rapid battery drain. Yes, the GPS can be turned off via the menus, but that shouldn't be necessary. Do you happen to know whether the 5D Mark IV has this same bug, or if the GPS turns of with the camera? Thanks!

The only thing I can think of is you could have entered the strings into Google in the wrong format. Your 20 miles off sounds very much like the difference between minutes versus decimal of a degree. I'd double check and make sure I choose the right format for Google entry.

Firmware is one of the first things I checked. It was 1.04 and I've since updated to the latest, 1.1.2.
