Pentax 0-GPS2 question

I bought an Pentax 0-GPS2 unit for my K-5, having gotten tired of wondering where I took a shot on long trips.

The problem is, I don’t  know what Lightroom Classic does with this information. Where does LrC store it, and how do I persuade LrC to display it?

If you click on maps, you should see the location of the photos.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to make use of things like focal length
the compass and accelerometer to show you what the camera was pointing
at on the map.

Rick,

If the Pentax O-GPS2 unit works like any of my cameras that store GPS data, it will be stored in the EXIF data and visible in LrC in the Library module,  Metadata panel. If you select a photo which has the GPS location information and switch to the Maps module, LrC will show the location on the map.
