    Posted by yoda on 2024-08-27 at 20:22

    I tried to enter the GPS coordinates encoded in my Videos, into Google Maps and don’t endup atr the right place on the MAP (where the video was recorded)

    Sorry to ask that noobie question but what is the right way to enter the GPS location info provider by my K7 into Google maps ? Tried different ways…

    I just want to be sure the encoded location / coordinates are good

    Did you use a minus sign to mean west of the prime meridian?

    Please post a sample screen shot

    OK I found !

    We need to ” reverse ” the order of the numbers provided in the recording ( coordinates encoding)

    And

    add a minus ” – ” in front on the second number.

    Example :

    45.628020284089,-74.60758273159288

    The info encoded in the video is : 74.60758273159288 45.628020284089

    Yes! Latitude is supposed to be first and longitude follows, minus sign for west of prime meridian.

    Good catch

    I will email Innovv a bug report.

    I’ve been emailing a customer service rep for a while.

    Hi Jeff,
    The same coordinate can be written in different ways. Depending on which system you use, you will have to convert/recalculate a coordinate.
    You can assume that if you have placed your GPS receiver correctly, the measured position in the GPS signal can be quite accurate, within a few meters. But this also depends on various factors.

    • place of your GPS receiver on your motorcycle
    • is the GPS receiver placed horizontally?
    • many tall buildings around you
    • etc.
