Max 2 and GPS aquisition - camera surprsingly aquires GPS mid-recording

I use the Max 2 during motorbike track days and based on the experiences with my Hero 6/9/10 and OG Max, I had assumed that if you start recording before getting a GPS lock, then the entire video would not contain GPS data. Well the Max 2 has proved me wrong!

I started recording in a pitlane building shortly after switching the camera on so there was no chance of getting a GPS lock first. Much to my surprise when looking for other telemetry data in Telemetry Overlay, GPS was aquired after a couple of minutes of riding on track and the rest of the video has a GPS log (a moving dot on the map, speeds & lap times etc)

Am I the last to find this out because I never bought the Hero 11 & 13, or is this new/not well known info?
