Hello everybody,
First of all, I’m very glad that this forum exists! Bravo for all people participating to discussions.
I bought few days ago a Viofo A119 v2 + GPS v2. I’m very happy with the camera itself (the video quality is very good), but there is some strange behavior of the GPS.
I explain here below my problem:
I saw some videos on youtube, and, for other people with Viofo A119, it seems that the GPS is functioning correctly (with a vert small lag).
I updated the firmware from V3.4 to V3.6 but there is no difference.
What do you think about my case? Is the GPS faulty or the camera, or both? I do not know other people in my neighborhood with this Viofo model to try.
There is no aother problems with my camera.
Thank you in advance for your reply !
Best regards,

I bought few days ago a Viofo A119 v2 + GPS v2. I’m very happy with the camera itself (the video quality is very good), but there is some strange behavior of the GPS.
I explain here below my problem:
- In the morning, when I start the camera there the GPS does not fix. The power cable is plugged to the GPS mount. On the screen, it shows “0 KM/H” in red. I set GPS OFF and after ON, but the camera still show “0 KM/H” in red;
- If after I connect the power cable to the camera, the GPS fix for a short period of time. During this time the speed varies from 0 KM/H to (the car is not moving) even “15 KM/H”, always at rest;
- If I reconnect the power cable to the GPS, it will fix for short period of times;
- When the GPS lose the connection, the speed indicator change the color in red, but it continues to show for a short period of time speeds different from zero.
- What is strange is that if I reset to the default values (in the Menu), I disable and re-enable the GPS, or I set to stamp no GPS information on the videos, the GPS will fix for a longer period of time (sometimes for more than 30 minutes continuously), but the day after the GPS will not fix again;
- When the GPS fixes (green color for the speed), another problem is the lag, a huge difference between the car speed and the displayed speed. When I stop to a STOP, the GPS continues to show for many seconds a non-zero speed.
I saw some videos on youtube, and, for other people with Viofo A119, it seems that the GPS is functioning correctly (with a vert small lag).
I updated the firmware from V3.4 to V3.6 but there is no difference.
