Hello,
My first post at the forums although I've been a regular visitor for around a month.
Bought what appears to be a late model orange menu GS1000 at one of Maplin's UK stores. Paid £122 (£129 on offer reduced from £149.99 with a further £7 discount code from google) with a full year's warranty from Maplin themselves and a 28 day no quibble return policy it's worth paying the extra for me.
Maplin product code: A95LC
Maplin Product Description: 1080p HD Journey Recorder with GPS and G Sensor.
Quality is acceptable (massive improvement verses my old eBay 1.3mp Novatech GS1000 clone) but I've not had a chance to try it yet at night. Car registration numbers can be clearly read at around 15-20ft away at 50mph when the video is paused.
I've put a 32GB SanDisk Ultra class 10 card in it (£25 from Asda Walmart in the UK) and it appears to get around 9 hours of footage on the card, but the bitrate is only 7K.
The GPS locks on instantly and is very accurate using both the software supplied and also DataKam Viewer. Also the GPS speed display is in MPH for the UK market.
I have it hard wired into my van and it's maintenance free, have it running on 1080p as I prefer the better quality over wider FOV.
Appears to have firmware FLX4.35.040712 ***EDIT*** I've extracted the firmware (13.3MB) if anyone want's it just let me know!
