New camera

[JockoT]

Yesterday my Viofo A119 V3 arrived and I had great fun learning the various options. What I did do last night was clean and dry the inside of the screen and stuck the Static pad in the appropriate position. When I came out this morning to attach the camera, prior to my first trip with it the Static pad was curled up and peeling off. Needless to say, I binned it and attached the camera direct to the inside of the screen.

One question. Is there Viofo software for viewing the files that also shows the route, as I had with the Nextbase?

Yes :

Dashcam Viewer for Mac and Windows

Hi everyone. We just released version 1.2 of Dashcam Viewer. This version supports the 3-axis shock sensors in the Mini 0801. Data from these sensors are displayed in the Graph window. Current DCV users can download the new version using the "Check for new version" feature under the Help menu...

Another question. What is the best way to get a quality still from a video? Doing "prt sc" only gives an image as good as the screen resolution which, in my case, is rubbish. Is there any way to capture a still at the resolution set in the camera other than to take a still photo (not practical when driving)?

In Windows Play the video in VLC then pause it at the spot you want and then press shift + s which will capture the frame.

You can also setup the menu which will show a camera icon. When you press this it will save the image to a folder with a file name.
VLC - https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Cheers.

I'm lazy. Unless I need the map or data I just let my default Windows Media Player play it then hit the pause button when needed and do a 'prt scn' which I copy into plain old Windows Paint.

Thanks, LateralNW. Downloaded the software and that does the trick. Taking a Screen dump from Media player, or the like is only as good as the resolution of the screen. My laptop is 1366×768 therefore that is the best a screen dump could be, but the actual image is 2560 x 1440 and that is the resolution VLC gives me. I will continue to use VLC instead of Media Player for all images in future (paid my donation).
I know the image will look no better on my laptop but if I view it on the 4K TV I see it as it really is. It also allows you to zoom and crop without too much degradation of the image.
