GPS information from AVCHD clips: Does anyone know how (or what is needed) to display the GPS information embedded in videos filmed in the AVCHD-GPS mode?

The data is in the mts file apparently in each frame and I think in a header (I'm just beginning to get up to speed on this for a current project), this program: http://www.dvmp.co.uk/ shows the geo data (if you go into settings and turn it on to do so). Also a program called EXIFTool can show the starting gps position and I believe with some extra passed commands to it write out a tracklog of sorts for the mts video.

The best viewer for this dash-camera is the one that's packaged with the camera. The viewer application is on the included CD-ROM and is easily installed. The viewer communicates with the camera via an included USB cable. If the camera includes the GPS option, an overhead map with camera position indicated on the display. All in all, a very polished, professional set-up. I highly recommend it, especially for travel in areas where other drivers are LOONIES!

You have to use the ball socket type bracket that snaps around the screen. Then you can snap the screen bracket to a suction cup or friction ball mount available through Garmin.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

The image on which the GPS information is recorded can be imported to a computer using the supplied software "MediaImpression 3.6.2 LE" (for Windows) and the location where the image was taken can be displayed on the map. Select an image in the preview screen and click (location) in the [Property] area to display the map. *To display the map, you need to connect your computer to the Internet.

Most computers have a difficult time processing AVCHD. This mode is meant for direct play back on your HDTV. But you can you can use a video editor like Freemake and it will convert the files for viewing on your computer and other sites like You Tube. I have a Panasonic FZ-150 and I have to record in FSH at 24fps instead of PSH at 50fps otherwise it produces glitches in playback mode.

There's no need specific software to view recording. It works with Windows Media player. About Google map I can't tell, I never tryed that option. But camera's software does not work properly, memory card needs to be formated daily. I suggest to choose another maker.

I have not used this for quite a while, so I may not remember correctly. I THINK it does mount on the camera body flash show, and that the cable that powers the GPS unit and transfers the data plugs in to the camera body. I have moved recently and have not unpacked cameras yet!

You need to use the VIRB Edit video editing program (free). Apparently their are also plug-ins for other video editing programs as well. the GPS data shows up as speed, elevation, location, ...

Yes. It's under Mode > GPS. It can also show you a live compass, if needed.

No built in navigator. The GPS is for playback only. So you can plot the route and speed you had traveled. All post recording. The only information you can get on the devices is longitude and latitude points in the menu settings.

Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software. I use Pinnacle 12, with the recent AVCHD update, but I still have trouble synchronizing the audio with the video. Have tried many things, including new video card. I have a fairly fast computer and lots of memory. The camera will convert to SD, but of course the image will not be nearly as nice. SD, however, is so much simpler to edit.I will admit, the more I use the camera, in basic, automatic modes, the more I like its features. The on board lamp does actually help, some. Color adjustment in auto mode still lacks, but overall, its a lot of camera for the money.Good luck, sir. Sorry, Craig. I haven't been using any of the included software.

Can you post your impression of image quality, movie quality and gps accuracy?I'm very curious on time for gps lock and if you have another source to compare it to for accuracy.

Sorry for the late response. I don't think Garmin have any GPS with video input (I might be wrong, but you can check this out). As long as any display devices that have video input (RCA, VGA, DVI, etc). Then you are good to go. This camera is very good so far I gave had no problem with it even in wet situation.
