Altitude tag required when seting coordinates?

Hi,

On this page, https://exiftool.org/TagNames/GPS.html is written that if coordinates are set, altitude has to be set as well. But what if the altitude is unknown? Can the two altitude tags not be omitted? Do I have to set it to 0? One of my cameras set the altitude always to just some thing over 20'000m...

Thanks!

It is not uncommon to have a missing altitude, so I wouldn't worry about this.  Maybe I should change the documentation to soften the wording for altitude.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
