Geo-tagging with Canon Connect

[Mr B]

I am trying to use Canon Connect to geo-tag my photos but am having problems.
I am connecting with Bluetooth, and not using Wi-Fi.

The problem
I connect the phone to the camera and to start with everything is OK.
But after a while I start getting problems whereby it may:

• Tag with a place I was a few minutes before, but then the next shot is OK.
• Stop updating GPS location, so a whole run of photos in different locations have the same co-ordinates
• Stop updating so photos have no location

Anybody have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
My settings are below

Environment
Camera Canon R7 with latest (1.3.1) firmware
Phone Samsung Galaxy A33 5g with Android 13 and Bluetooth 5.1
App Canon Connect Latest (3.1.144) version.

Settings

Thanks. That's the setting I missed.
Now changed from "Optimised" to "Unrestricted".
Will give it a try in the next few days.
