dashcamigo - free dashcam viewer that runs in the browser

Hello, could you add a feature? My dashcam has GPS functionality, while my action camera doesn't.
I first compare and segment the action camera and dashcam videos to ensure their durations are roughly the same, with an error margin of a few seconds.
Then, I export the GPS information from the dashcam video as a GPX file. Next, I import the action camera video (one or more consecutive videos), and then import the GPX file.
I can manually adjust the GPX start point to match the video. For the extra few seconds of footage without GPS information, you should handle it the same way as now—not displaying the map track. If the GPS track exceeds the video length, the user can control the deletion of the extra GPS track. Then, the video with the map track is output.
If this function is difficult to implement, then abandon it.

If can export a pure map trajectory video with a transparent background, then the above-mentioned function will not be needed.
Furthermore, it would be even better if a satellite map mode could be added to the map.

Manual GPX time offset for video sync is unlikely to happen. Handling all clip edge cases reliably is just too complex to implement cleanly.

Exporting an animated map overlay with a transparent background is under consideration for future updates.

As for satellite mode, a satellite view would be great, but finding a free satellite tile source is the main hurdle (standard OpenStreetMap providers don't include it). Suggestions for any free tile providers are welcome!

Hello, when the dimensions of the map remain the same, can the font size of the road names be manually adjusted?

Thanks for this amazing work! I’ve been searching for an app with these features for years. One request: could you add an elevation overlay layer? It would be super useful on mountain roads. Thanks again!

Done =)

Thanks for the kind words, really glad dashcamigo is hitting the spot!

Regarding elevation: very few dashcams actually log altitude data in their telemetry. Calculating elevation purely from coordinates is tricky and comes with accuracy trade-offs, especially in areas with steep terrain changes.

That said, I've noted this down in the backlog to explore. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks, the font adjustment is fantastic! Just like Night_Fury said, I also really want the altitude function; I might buy a GPS odometer specifically to record this information.

Hello, I've recently used several video overlay software and web applications, and so far, yours is the best. Currently, it lacks the ability to manually import GPS data and perform alignment, as well as the ability to export data map UI videos with transparency. There's a web application called GPStitch on GitHub that can achieve these functions, but it doesn't work properly on my computer and runs slowly and laggy. However, you might be able to refer to its implementation. I hope you can develop these functions into your software; that would be perfect.

Hi,
Would you be able to add support for older Garmin units like nuviCam LMTHD?
It supposedly does have GPS & Speed metadata (see attached image), but dashcamigo is not reading it...
Thus no Speed, no GPS, no Map.
Tried in Chrome, Firefox and Edge on two separate PCs.

Also, on a "light skin" some (smaller) Fonts are hard to see.
Look at "green" vs. "red" outlines on the image.

Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback! I've fixed the font readability issue in the light theme, so you can give it another try.

For adding support for your Garmin, I'll need some additional information and sample files. At the bottom of the dashcamigo website there's an "Add your dashcam" link with all the details on what to provide.

Thanks!

Hi! Do the recently added manual GPX assignment and GPS offset adjustment cover the GPS import/alignment part of your request well enough, or is there still something missing for your workflow?
