I think the GPS can be disabled- you shouldn't need it in a fixed

Exactly. If you're not moving the scope around and (I assume) have it

Agreed. However in a fixed location the purpose of the GPS is to
automatically input the correct date and time.
You can do this manually but it is easier to let george do it.
