    and how to turn on GPS on GoPro

    Works with GoPro:
    5 Black
    6 Black
    7 Silver - Works much better correct way up, poor data with heated screen
    7 Black - Works much better correct way up, no data with heated screen
    8 Black - Usable either way up, in cars with or without heated screen
    9 Black - Usable either way up, in cars with or without heated screen, must use latest firmware early firmware had very poor GPS

    They cleverly figured out how to extract GPS and accelerometer data from GoPro video file! Pretty cool I say!

    When I used to fly Phantoms, I was called an AVIATOR.
    Now I race cars. So, am I now called a PAVIATOR?

    The video integration tools I cited are all post-session. Great for circuit racing and AX, but for real time "GRIP Awareness" [sort of G-meter} consider the ApexPro. It give a very good indication of how you are doing in-the-moment.

    Standard disclaimer. BTW they are sold out as I understand at the moment.
    More improvements rumored to be available at SEMA.

    I'll add; Unfortunately, for Android users - their phone apps are all "wedded" to Apple.
