EOS R6 Mark II Camera GPS Location Off by Miles

[WSC33]

I have an EOS R6 Mark 11 connected to my iPhone 13 for GPS.  The camera GPS is always off by several miles.  Obviously, my iPhone can locate me within a few feet.  Why the huge discrepancy?

Thanks.

No argument. I don't know where the OP is looking at the location stamps. If he's looking at them on the *camera* they only go down to the tenth of a second. I.E. HH:MM:SS.S.  I also don't know if the camera JPGs are rounding the shown location.

Looking at the actual metadata, I've seen them go down to the thousandth of second. From one of my images:

32°8'12.672" N 110°52'1.404" W

Strangely, the OP was getting fractional minutes.

One other thing to remember, in my experience, when the camera connects to the phone, that is the GPS coordinates that it will use, until the camera or app is turned off and connected again.  I have tested this by leaving it on and driving somewhere else and take a picture.  So if I have significantly changed location I turn the camera off and open CC and watch it reconnect.  I have my phone set to "allow location access while using the app".

When going out to shoot I set the iPhone to

Settings->Display & Brightness->Auto-Lock to "Never"

and leave the Canon app in the foreground. This way if the camera powers-off automatically or I power it off, it reconnects immediately on power-up. If I'm going to be out for a while, I connect the phone to a phone power bank. GPS location is always up-to-the-second since the app is always in the foreground.
