Next time I’ll have to be more careful about small clues like this. And in Clip 1, which is part of the same master clip, the heading seems to jump the gun at 1:25 so I’d say the GPS data is slightly ahead of the video. So we know we’re not way off the plate, but the reaction is perhaps a little too immediate for it to be accurate.

In Clip 2, at 1:22 - 1:23 the bike turns and so does the heading. More seriously, it’s difficult to get the GPS data and video synchronised, and the best tip I could give is to start the app and your video recording at the same time. If you want to get my speed, you have to rip it away from my bare hands! And so, because I’m a hard head, I had to go through most of the gears to climb the steeper 15% grade section… Yeah, yeah, I know folks… I should know better… But I’m really not made for mid-drives… And if you think I’m in the wrong gear at the bottom of the hill in the second video, you’re ABSOLUTELY right. The first video is a rather mellow climb, the second one is a 9-15% grade climb (starts around 2:27).

Given the amount of money I’ve invested in GoPro accessories, I’m happy that it’s not totally obsolete and can be coerced into doing what the newer action cams do. It gives the results shown in the videos below. You can create a separate video with the GPS overlays and then composite them into your favourite video editor. But there’s another method which I prefer. You can import your video directly in Dashware, add the overlays, and produce the final output.

As the YouTube videos weren’t that recent, it’s possible that Garmin has since locked down their software so that it only works with their devices.Īfter roaming around on the UAV/drone forums, I found that a lot of hobbyists were using Dashware to overlay GPS data. I tried several different GPS loggers but couldn’t get Virb Edit to interpret the GPX tracks from any of them. I watched several YouTube videos where it was explained that you could use Virb Edit to merge GPS data and video data together. It’s not that complicated, but it took me a while to figure out. But I have an older GoPro HERO 4 and I wanted to put some GPS overlays on it using only the GPS data from my smartphone. The newer Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 and GoPro Hero 5 models have GPSes included that allow you to overlay GPS data (speed, direction, etc.) on videos.
