Using GPS on Your Dash Cam

GPS adds a layer of context that turns footage into a fuller record. It is a small feature with an outsized effect on how convincing your clips are.

What it records

GPS stamps your location and speed onto the footage, and often plots your route on a map in the companion software.

Why it helps

Speed and location data can corroborate your account of an incident, showing you were within the limit or exactly where an event occurred.

Enabling it

GPS is either built in or added via a special mount or module. Once enabled and locked onto satellites, it also keeps your clock accurate automatically.
