adding speed data overlay onto your video

markite - 11-2-2016 at 08:49 AM

I was thinking on the weekend that there should be a GoPro add on GPS device to show current track data and speed on your video - did a search today and came across this, looks interesting but i may need to upgrade my GPS to a different model

The Virb has it all built in. It has a seemingly endless list of gauges you can overlay on the video. I have a few a buddy of mine has taken of me at Ivanpah.

I've always thought that would be great. This video came to mind as one I have seen. In the video description it says he was testing out gps view on his sony action cam. I don't know if it was edited in, or if sony cam has a gps.

looks like it's built in.

Yes some cameras have it built in, but iit looks like if you have a verb compatible GPS you can use the free software to lay it over your GoPro video

This is a video where I was wearing Gary's Virb.

That's really nice - thanks Bobby, I think you have posted this before. I'd love to tie it into my GoPro video but definitely would need one of the models of GPS that would support the data (list available on Garmin)

Watched Marks video but still trying to wrap my head around all this. How does a video segment and your GPS file know where they are in relation to each other? If I put a few video clips together but not necessarily in order, wouldn't the GPS file no longer be in sync with your footage? I'm a little conflustered.
