Just received a Mini 0805 w/GPS from foxoffer (via eBay) -

The provided viewer (QTplayer.exe) viewer seems to work fine, other than it places my GPS track in India rather than in the state of Florida (U.S.) where it should be. The latitude and longitude displayed on the viewer is correct, but the map is not.

I downloaded Registrator Viewer but had the same mis-location problem.

Has anyone run across this issue?
 
will be a firmware issue, there is an option in Registrator Viewer to reverse the co-ordinates which may get you up and running though
 
Thanks jokiin -

I flipped both latitude and longitude but now the track is west of Chile (South America), about 54 degrees south of the correct location. I tried shifting the latitude 54 degrees but noticed that the track is reversed now (north is south, south is north).

Do you know if updated firmware is available for the foxoffer version of this dashcam?
 
Just let Foxoffer know and they'll arrange the update for you, likely they are not aware but it's an easy fix
 
Will do - thanks.

FYI, the gps log looks like this (partial extract only) just in case anyone is interested:

What are the correct coordinates for your region? Google your address and you can check them
 
Approximately 27.711115, -82.696290 (decimal)
or
27° 42' 40.0134", -82° 41' 46.644"

Should be an easy fix, give your coordinates to Foxoffer when you report the problem, it will help the engineers
 
I will include the gps.log file and my coordinates in my support request. Thanks again, and Happy New Year! to you and yours.

I had the same exact problem with my Mini 0805 from GearBest. Flashed the camera with 20141204 firmware fixed the problem. You will notice your actual speed will read about 50% low when viewing in the RegistratorViewer when set to MPH. Also will show at about 40% slower in the KM/H setting, weird. The viewer works fine with my Mini 0803 dashcam. Viewer needs a software fix I think. Their site only shows supporting the Mini 0801 however.

That's good news, thanks.

If I were confident that the Gearbest and Foxoffer hardware were the same I'd ask you for the download location of the firmware - but failing that I'll wait for Foxoffer to respond.

What firmware is loaded in you camera?
 
After the firmware update to 1204 the originally provided "Car Camcorder with GPS Logger" (QTPlayer.exe: File version 1.0.0.5, Date modified 1/1/2014 12:00 AM) will not play the recorded files at all. It just hangs.

I downloaded a new (MPH) version of the GPS Viewer software from this link: http://www.combi.org.uk/manuals/man53747555cd47e.exe and it plays the recorded files and displays the GPS track and speed correctly.

The link was found at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231333956874 - note that they have both a MPH and KPH version of the GPS Viewer as well as the user manual for the Mini 0805 on that page.

I then downloaded the stable version (6.0.0.1) of Datakam's RegistratorViewer from this link: http://www.registratorviewer.com/download_en.html

RegistratorViewer plays the recorded files and displays the GPS track on the map correctly. However, it displays the speed lower than actual(e.g., 65 mph is displayed as 57 mph on the speedo while the speed stamp on the image correctly shows 65 mph). So, a little more work remains to be done on that viewer.

I hope this summary of my experience is helpful to others.
