sort of, let me know how it goes if you just power on but don't record, you need to make sure the situation is the same to compare, eg, hasn't been used for same period, overnight or whatever, startup in same location, undercover or out on the open etc
Okay, the results of this mornings testing.
Conditions: Clear sky, car parked outside, camera mounted on windscreen in normal position, running on internal battery only, NO recording, unit had not been on for over 12 hours.
Test 1: No SD card. GPS signal gained after 40 seconds.
Test 2: With 32Gb Sandisk Ultra Class 10 card. No GPS signal received after 6 minutes, so I gave up.
Test 3: Repeated test 1 with no SD card. GPS signal gained after 40 seconds.
Test 4: Repeated test 2 with 32Gb card. No GPS signal received after 6 minutes, so I gave up.
Test 5: With 8Gb Verbatim Class 4 SD card. GPS signal gained after 35 seconds.
This testing seems to indicate the unit has a problem with certain SD cards, resulting in no GPS signal. I'm going to go buy a different brand SD card, possibly Class 6.
Jokiin, what causes this and what is your recommendation?
Cheers
Mario
