Car 02 Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI (UK) Recently bought Mini 0801 dashcam with GPS block stuck to windscreen hardwired to fusebox, firmware version is 20140906. How can I get this to show gps data on playback with map, speed etc? GPS worked fine for the first week then stopped showing up on playback on my PC. I use Datak Registrator latest version.
During playback the video looks fine, the googlemap appears on the right but does not indicate location on car or the route taken, speed indicator show zero and doesn't move.
The GPS folder is filled with log files to match each movie clip, type of gps file it Text Doc, is this normal filetype?
This afternoon I reformatted the 32 gb class 6 sd micro card and reset the camera back to default factory settings via the dascam menu, took car out for a couple of hours and still has not recorded gps. I did press the down arrow button on the mini 0801 to lock the current file being recorded, this DID show GPS Data.
I tried the DVR.EXE that is on the camera, the movie files load in but in the column for the GPS file is say's Unavailable. The file does exist in the GPS Folder. On thte right of the video display wher the map should be it displays a message in red "ERROR: The information in GPS route file is unavailable!"
Has my GPS unit died on me?
My Garmin Satnav has no problems picking up GPS signal so I don't see a problem with the car blocking a signal.
I'd appreciate someone checking my menu settings and see if one of my settings might prevent the GPS from working properly.
