280+ GPX files often contain gaps in location coverage. Line of sight to the
281+ GPS satellites can be lost if the receiver goes into a tunnel or a
282+ dense forest, for example, and track recording will stop until the
283+ connection can be reestablished. Some track recorders will stop recording
284+ points if the receiver stops moving. This results in points in the GPX
285+ file with timestamps far apart from each rather, rather than only the
286+ normal one second apart (or another short interval). The interpolation
287+ that <command >gpscorrelate</command > performs by default assumes a smooth
288+ movement between the two known points on either side, but if those
289+ two points are minutes or hours apart (or even longer!) the
290+ interpolated position is unlikely to make sense. To avoid ending up
291+ with a bad location for an image, the <userinput >--max-dist</userinput >
292+ option can be used to skip correlating photos that were taken within a
293+ large gap in coverage.
