When the bGeigieCast is used as a fixed location sensor in cities with tall buildings, it is usually placed on the side of building structure where half of the sky is blocked by the building itself (except in the unlikely case where you have long term access to the rooftop). This means that it can only see a subset of GPS satellites, not to mention the satellites are constantly moving in and out of view causing extremely poor accuracy and sometimes completely looses GPS lock.
In an actual test at a height of 95m from the side of a 110m tall building, I got a GPS accuracy that constantly jumped around 300m to 2.5km and lost GPS lock for roughly 40% of the time. This causes the original mode with a fixed Geofencing coordinate completely useless due to the 100m range limit, and even the basic mode using live GPS coordinates is no good because valid sensor data would be dropped 40% of the time without GPS lock, and even when GPS location is available, it would fail to represent the actual fixed location when the detected location jumps around so much.
What we need is a simple mode that lets the user select a static coordinate for a fixed location, bypassing the GPS checks and coordinates to ensure a 100% reliable and consistent fixed location sensing.
