It is useful to have a means of recording whether a
photo was taken in freeze mode, to make it clear that the
geotag may not be accurate. For this reason a user
setting is available that replaces the altitude field of the
geotag with the value of ‘99999m’. If you would like to
enable this option then please see the settings section.
It is important to note that buffered GPS data in freeze
mode is never replaced in either the continuous (red) or
low power (green) modes. Consider the scenario when
the GeoPic II is in low power (green) mode and locked,
then you subsequently change to freeze mode. The
GPS data from low power mode will not be used in
freeze mode. Instead you can either wait for freeze
mode to obtain a lock and replace its buffered location or
cancel the search and use the data from the last time
you obtained a lock in freeze mode.
