Anyone have any experience with this small Canon GP-E2 GPS unit ?
Has a MiniUSB connector or clips onto hot shoe of EOS 5D3 or 1DX and a MiniUSB connector only link to EOS 7D. It claims to write the GPS info directly into the EXIF data of the captured image. I am particularly interested in the accuracy of the results of this, having tried the JOBO photoGPS hotshoe unit and been only lukewarm with the results. (The JOBO doesn't write directly to EXIF in the camera, but with the supplied s/ware, the data can be inserted - see below).
I realise that the GPS signals are degraded for non-military use, but can the GP-E2 get within 10m in x, y (or z) ? The JOBO unit was particularly poor in z, but again part of that a function of the GPS signal.
Any feedback welcome, especially as these are around £200.

Thanks.
