I've been having issues with my dashcam (DR650S, approx 9 months old) not recording GPS and or G-sensor data while on a race track (QLD Raceway at Ipswich).
The first time I went there it recorded GPS and g-sensor data without any issues (30 minutes max speed around 160km/hr). The second and third time however (same track, slightly different layout, same duration and speeds), it didn't record any GPS or g-sensor data for significant periods of time.
For the second run it recorded a minute of g-sensor data and a few seconds of GPS data at around the 2 minute mark, 2 minutes of g-sensor data and a few seconds of GPS data at around the 15-17 minute mark, g-sensor data from 22-30 minutes and GPS from 23-30 minutes (and nothing for the remaining times).
For the third run it recorded the following: 0-3 minutes both, nothing to 4 minutes, g-sensor (only) to 4m 10s, nothing to 5m, g-sensor to 6m, nothing to 11m, g-sensor to 14m, both to 23m, g-sensor to 24m 30s and then nothing to the end.
The only difference that I am aware of between the first and 2nd/3rd time is that for the 1st occasion I had both normal and event recording set for 1 minute each and the other two times I had normal recordings set for 3 minutes and event recording set to 1 minute. The majority of recordings are event but there a both event and normal recordings with and without g-sensor/GPS data.
It last worked fine on 1 July and didn't work on 26 August and 14 October. On each occasion the dashcam would have likely had the lastest firmware (it certainly does at the moment) and I formatted the SD card just before the most recent session. Going to and from the track there was no issues with GPS or g-sensor data and there were both event and normal recordings amongst these files. In general day to day use the GPS also works most of the time.
Next time I will obviously ensure that I set both recordings to be for a minute (or 3 minutes), but does anyone have any thoughts on what may be causing this?
