I save all of my dashcam journeys (i.e. I change memory card before it fills). I review all of my journeys in Dashcam Viewer software (for Mac) although I don't check every minute I do skip through and check for audio, video, and GPS data and that all three are synchronised. I also look at the plotted route on the Dashcam Viewer map.
Occasionally, I will see horizontal lines indicating route deviations. On closer examination, the longitude coordinate changes for less than a second to W 0.00000 and back to its normal (i.e. actual) reading, so you get a horizontal line from the correct location to W 0.00000 and then back again. It's definitely not Dashcam Viewer as I have the coordinates data embedded in the video and you see the longitude coordinate change on the video.
I think (but I will need to confirm) that when it happens it may be at the start of a new file (as if the unit forgets its longitude position and defaults).
I've noticed this behaviour about three times since I bought the unit in December 2019.
It's not a problem as it only happens for a brief time and the only thing that it does is mess up the pretty route on the Dashcam Viewer map.
Has anybody else noticed this?
Is it an indication of any problems?
Thanks,
