Isn't the stand alone GPS module still available? It's still listed at
B&H Photo as new so the K-3 III probably will support Astrotracing, just
not with a built in GPS.
That doesn't do anything about the lack of a flippy screen, as I said
before, Ricoh probably want's the K-3 series to be as rugged as possible
and the flippy screen is a possible point of failure eliminated.
If you cannot do without it, then there are other options with it in the
Pentax line, if none of those are acceptable to you...
Life is full of disappointments and hard choices have to be made when
designing a camera, especially to a competitive price, sometimes those
choices will go against what you want.
I have to go without an aperture simulator, which on the whole seems to
be much easier to implement than a flippy screen, but that's my problem.

Hear, hear! And, besides, I still have over 50 000 clicks left on
the K5.
On the Mk ii, the GPS was associated with the built-in Astrotracer.
Has this feature been removed from the Mk iii ?

I agree, Henk. GPS and a flippy screen would have induced me to buy
one. Apart from a high enough ISO to shoot landscapes illuminated by
passing fireflies, I don’t see a compelling advantage over my K-5.

12 FPS, 26 MP, 4K and touch screen (of course). Missing GPS which
is in K-3 II.
But I cannot do without a flippy screen, so this is not for me.
