I'm using linux, and there are no dashcam viewers for linux.
VLC works fine for viewing the video, slight hickup between files, but that is not a problem.
I tried using GPSPrune for viewing the GPS files, but it does not recognise the file format.
The standard format for GPS data is GPX, but the camera uses a text based LOG file.
GPSPrune can import a text file, but you must tell it what fields are what (it does a bad job of guessing).
Has anyone figured out what the colums are in the LOG file format?
I just tried GPSBabel, this format is not listed.
I've figured out a few things:
example line:
A,110914,015859.000,3722.9935,N,12148.9924,W,034.9,+00.61,-08.58,+00.61;
"V" before GPS acquires lock, "A" afterwards, date (ddmmyy), time (hhmmss.ms), latitude (dddmm.mmmm), polarity of latitude,longitude (dddmm.mmm), polarity of longitude, speed (not MPH, not M/sec, not KPH), acceleration in M/sec^2 left, Acceleration in M/sec down (reads -9.8 when stopped), Acceleration backwards (positive when brakeing)
