Comment on Canon requires an account to transfer images from your camera. Forces you to sign up using Chrome.

Some other users pointed out that you can stay on an older version before the signup requirement and it will continue to work fine even without an internet connection. That’s what I’m going to do.

So to get Geotagging I need the camera to be connected to the phone on the latest firmware?

You just need the app. Either the older version (no account needed) or the new app (with an account).
But this also depends on the camera. I believe new ones can geotag live via Bluetooth (with the app). This is how my Panasonic camera does it.
But you can also set the app to keep a log of your location, so as you take photos, you can have the app tag them before transfer.
Check your camera’s manual to see how it works.
