Compatible models

At the time of writing the current GoPro cameras include GPS functionality and hence compatible with our software. There are some notes from our own extensive testing.

• 5 Black
• 6 Black
• 7 Silver - Works much better correct way up, poor data with heated screen
• 7 Black - Works much better correct way up, no data with heated screen
• 8 Black - Usable either way up, in cars with or without heated screen
• 9 Black - Usable either way up, in cars with or without heated screen, must use latest firmware – early firmware had very poor GPS.
• 10 Black
• 11 Black - Works fine
• 13 Black - Works either way up without a heated screen. We observed that with a heated screen the GPS is more reliable mounted the correct way up, with poor GPS upside down.
• Note: 12 Black is not compatible, as it does not have GPS

Videos must be standard rectangular profile, not 360-degree spherical videos.

Also note that it is important to be running the latest firmware and that the camera doesn’t shut itself off due to a low battery or extreme temperature exposure (below -10C or above 35C). Older camera firmware and a low battery are the most common cause of problems such as poor synchronisation or failure to join or process files.

In our testing, we saw that cameras mounted further up the windscreen had poor GPS reception – this is due to the GPS antenna’s “view” of the sky being blocked partially by the roof. It is recommended to mount your camera further down the windscreen for good GPS reception.
