Frequently Asked Questions

Q - I've just installed the App, but it doesn't read the GPS Signal.
A - Please reboot your Device, go in an open Area and try to repeat your test.

Q - How can I backup/copy my Journeys?
A - You can see your journey files in a folder in Internal_Storage : Android / data / app.gps_video_logger / files / GPS_Video_Logger / . Each journey has a video file in mp4 format and track file(location) in GPX format. Both these files will have the same name (name of your journey). Copy both these files to succesfully copy your journey.

Q - My horizontal videos appear vertical during playback
A - Ensure you have enabled the "Auto Screen Rotate" feature before starting the recording.

Q - How to import recorded videos from older version of the app?
A - In earlier versions, the video and track file was located in GPS_Video_Logger folder, directly in Internal Storage. Please copy all the files in that folder to the new location Android / data / app.gps_video_logger / files / GPS_Video_Logger / and the app will detect them and allow playback.

gps-video-logger's Issues

TImelapse mode for longer journeys

Does the application have a timelapse mode? If not, asking for a feature request to implement that, as longer journeys can create very large video files.

Install fails

Trying to install in Droid-ify 0.5.6 on a Samsung A71 5G UW running Android 13 and I get "Unknown error. INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED: Failed parse during installPackage..."

Cannot install

The first two releases do not install ADB says [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES].
Latest install on 4.4.2 but do not run. No idea what log to post here. It is a really interesting recorder for bike! Hope to see it work.

[Feature] Include speed in GPX file

Since the app records GPX 1.0, can it also log the speed?

[Feature] Export as video with embedded map

Add option to export a journey as an mp4 video , with location embedded in corner.

Drawbacks to consider:

Including FFMpeg can increase size of APK significantly (15mb - 80mb)
Exporting is CPU heavy especially for longer videos.

Record accelerometer, gyroscope and compass sensors and raw output

Hi, Thanks for sharing such great app.
In some cases, it is important to the lat and long at a specific frame. for example garmin dashcam uses a RIFF files to store gps and acceleration data in the same video file (take a look at here) but I think that would be hassle while it could be saved in another xml file.

I would like to suggest you to include other sensors as well to output, which user can use it for post process:

Gyroscope
Comass
Accelerometer

Also something for syncronizing the video with the data. An .xml output would be best i think. maybe something like this:

<Datas videoFileName="abc.mp4">
  <Data frameNumber="120">
      <gps lat="1.23" lon="3.45" alt="6.78" speed="9.01"/>
  </Data>
  <Data frameNumber="154">
      <accel x="1.23" y="3.45" z="6.78"/>
  </Data>
  <Data frameNumber="154">
      <compass x="1.23" y="3.45" z="6.78"/>
  </Data>
  <Data frameNumber="200">
      <gyro x="1.23" y="3.45" z="6.78"/>
  </Data>
<Datas>

Each <Data> element relates to a sensor data and relates to a specific frame of video. not sure but i think it would be easy to find out the frame number of video. For example user knows if video file is 24 frame per second, the frame number 120 relates to 5'th second of video. (120 / 24 = 5)

The content of <Data> element is either gps, accel, compass or gyro elements.
this way one can very precisely synchronize the data with video output for post process.

Please remember to adjust version info

It seems that all you releases identify as version 1.0, versionCode 1 (because of these lines in your build.gradle). This not only makes it hard for the users to tell which version they're running, Android itself wouldn't accept a newer version as "update" if versionCode wasn't increased.

So could you please make sure that future versions have those values set appropriately? The current one would be expected to have these values set to "1.1.2" resp. "4". Thanks!
