For me it is incomprehensible that all smartphones have GPS but most DSLRs and mirrorless not. For landscape and nature pictures it is so useful to have it on my K-1. If GPS seems to easily fit in a flat phone, why not in an APSC-C? For me this is another step forward to kill real cameras sales in favour of smartphones. The use of apps or the clip-on GPS module are cumbersome in the field and are only stopgaps.

Even adventure cameras like the new Pentax WG-90 do not have GPS.
Exceptions are the Ricoh WG-6 (for as long as it is available) and the new OM TG-7, however their image quality may be on the level of a good phone.

It seems that the only ones with internal GPS are the K-1, and the K-3II

There might be some mode where you can use the gps off the phone through the 
app on the K-3 III. Or that might be something that I saw my u4/3 can 
theoretically do.

What I have been doing on the K-3 III is just taking photos with phone, 
importing those into lightroom, so I can use those to look on the map to see 
where I took the photos.

Sorry, none of those - they all need the clip-on O-GPS1 as do the K3i & K3iii, K5 
series & a few others.

It seem only the K3ii has built in GPS like the K1.

What is the most recent Pentax APS-C camera that has built-in GPS like
the K-1? We're doing another bicycle trip in the summer and I'd like
something more compact than my K-1 but more capable than a phone.
