Geotag without altitude?

[adamschneider]

I don't really want altitudes stored with my photos, just latitude and longitude (because GPS altitudes are usually wrong!).  Is there an option I can add to the command-line to get it to ignore elevations?  I didn't see anything on the "Geotagging with ExifTool" page.

(Currently my workaround is to delete the <ele> tags from my GPX file, then Command-Z the deletion after geotagging!)

No, I do not believe there's an option to exclude a tag when you are geotagging.

The only other option I can think of would be to remove the data after processing

exiftool -GPSAltitude= -GPSAltitudeRef= /path/to/files/
or using a wildcard, though the part with the wildcard would need to have quotes around it on Mac/Linux
exiftool -GPSAltitude*=  /path/to/files/

I guess that'll work. Thanks.
