Also I am getting a Fenix 3 ariving Monday from REI I will have to try it too. See why we are one of the best rated offline vector maps app. I will try the Nuvi in engineering mode and see if this fixes the speed drift issue. The Fenix GPS can be set to auto or log every second. A nice feature that is not in the GPS units that are made for Roads (Nuvi and its famaly of road GPS units) the Sports GPS have a auto track mode but its a bit more usful since it can create. The Outdoor GPS Montana, Etrex, Etc have this auto feature but it can be adjusted to record a trackpoint by time (like the Virb) or distance. Useful to save memory and batery life I guess. In this article, Im going to demystify the GPX file in non-tech language so. The Nuvi and Zuno (Motorcycle GPS) seem to be set to auto adjust the trackpoint logging with no way to change this feature they only record a trackpoint when thre is a change in direction. You can use GPX files to transfer that information between GPS units and computers. I will see if this fixed the speed drift issue.Ī little research on Garmin GPS. This helps to avoid conflicts when opening files, for. I Found a series of button pushes to put the Nuvi in Engineering mode (used for development I guess) I can now force the Nuvi to record a trackpoint every second. Change, Updated non-standard attribute names when saving to GPX file. But I don't want to use my Forerunner on my motorcycle it would realy mess up my running PRs :-)Īny ideas, I don't think I am the only one who has this issue. fit files to see if the tag is recorded when not moving and if the sample rate changes when stoped. fit file from my Forerunner 620, I have not looked at the. If the sample rate was faster when stoped this would not happen.

So how to fix this, I don't know if there is an option to not allow the GPS to go into a slow sample rate when stoped.

So it looks to me the Virb Edit software is taking the diffrence between the two data points, The one with no tag and the next one with a tag and displays the change over time this makes the speed displayed in the video to display the stop at 0 MPH then start to rise to the next data point that was recorded after the light changed and has a tag, In the GPX file when stopped the tag is not recorded and the GPS seems to start logging data points at a much slower rate (it may be a design feature to save memory when not moving) As I watch the video the speed overlay starts increaseing at a constant rate, Why, looks like the next data point is taken afer the light has changed and I am moving again and now the data point contains a tag. I looked for the cause and I think I found it. I found a great way to Sync the GPX with the video by using Bing Map Sat view then zooming in and match a Video frame with a crosswalk marking on the street, The sync is dead on, The issue is when I come to a stop light the speed drops to 0 then starts to rise as I sit still. Just got a Virb (basic) Attached it to my Motorcycle and started to make videos using Virb Edit, I import the GPX files from my Nuvi 42.
