Don't try to think I need or want to change what you say for yourself like I would need you to speak for me, thanks. It might be strange but actually I was replying to you and your comment. No more, no less.
As apparently it was not clear: A GPS device could have been put in the body keeping the OBF, while the whole astrotracer need more place and it took the place of the OBF. This really as nothing to do with GPS feature. Many camera have both GPS and OBF, even Smartphones do have flash and GPS.
The OBF was removed for the astrotracer and as you explained yourself, you never used it, neither do I. I wonder how many actually used one or plan to use one one day outside of a few shoots to try it because it is bundled in their new camera. Sure some are interrested, I just wonder how many.
