Description
There is a check-box for 'Use GPS2' in the geo-tagging form - it doesn't actually do anything (when using CAM/TRIG messages for tagging, the only information available anyway is the fused horizontal position). Not sure what the purpose of this box is, but could probably be removed?
Also, what does the check box 'Use CAM messages' do? You already select between CAM/TRIG and time offset on the line immediately above.
What there probably does need to be though, is a radio box to select tagging using either the fused altitude value in the CAM message, or the unfused GPS altitude value which is also included: the default should probably be fused, but for RTK applications you'd use the GPS instead.

Research direction
Start by locating Mission Planner's geo-tagging form and tracing the existing 'Use GPS2' and 'Use CAM messages' options. Clarify whether the unused options should be removed and how fused versus unfused CAM altitude should be selected, then verify the agreed behavior with CAM/TRIG and RTK tagging cases.
