GPS Data Playback
The optional GPS Module for the A119 Dash Cam enables GPS logging for video
recordings and photographs. Besides latitude and longitude coordinates, the
module enables a speed stamp on video footage as well as the LDWS and FCWS
capabilities.
Using a media player alone on your computer won’t access the tracking data
collected by the GPS module. For that you’ll need specialized software such as
Dashcam Viewer, which splits your computer screen into several windows. One
pinpoints the vehicle’s position on a roadmap, another graphs the vehicle’s speed
and yet another shows the view recorded by the camera—so you won’t even need a
media player. You’ll also be able to zoom the view to show a license plate, pull up a
Google Earth view, export data or combine video clips. A feature-packed version of
the software is free to download and use. A pay version enables you to handle more
les at once.
