Route Map Creation With Telemetry Extractor Premium For GoPro

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

This shows how to create a Google Map of a day’s travel, using downloaded GoPro videos, the software Telemetry Extractor Premium for GoPro ( ), and Google Maps (on a Mac).

This example uses the GoPro videos taken during a day’s motorcycle ride in Tuscany, in May 2022 (two-up, on a rented BMW C 400 X). Keep in mind that the GoPro:

1) Should be started a couple of minutes before setting off (or setting off again, after lunch, for instance), in order for the camera’s GPS chip to lock onto satellites before recording starts.

2) Should be recording the entire trip (i.e., not just a portion of the day).

3) Must support telemetry, i.e., be a Hero5 or newer. (In this case, a Hero9 Black was used).

I don’t know what the upper limits of Telemetry Extractor Premium for GoPro are, but I’ve successfully used this method to generate GPX files of rides taken for which I’ve submitted 35 MP4 GoPro files with an aggregate size of c. 134 GB. Those totals represent my maximum day-trip file numbers and sizes on several long days (using a 256 GB memory card, and recording set to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 FPS).

In case anyone is wondering, I am not affiliated in any way with, nor have I been compensated by, nor have I sought permission from, the company that sells Telemetry Extractor Premium for GoPro. I am merely a satisfied user of both that software and its Telemetry Overlay software, for which products I have paid the standard licensing fees.
