EOS 80D Location information with Canon Connect App

It appears sending location information to the 80D isn't supported with the IOS Canon Connect App?  At least it's not showing up as an option when I load the app.   That stinks!  Come on Canon how hard can that be???

The Canon Connect app (2.9.xx) actually had an option to "send geolocation to camera". Yet, pressing on the button does not do anything - it will say that the 80D is not supported. The Canon Connect app in version 3.0.xx removed the button to "send" location info to the camera completely.

I ended up using the Canon Connect app to sync the clock between the phone and the camera, and use "geotagging 2 app" as suggested above to log trip info. This also solves an issue with the Canon connect app, where the phone is completely off the grid with no data connection when "paired" to the camera. (Android phone)
