Extract GPS data from 70mai dashcam

[Phil Harvey]

I just got a sample from a 70mai A800, and it seems that there is no GPS metadata in videos from this camera either.

Hi,

I'm experimenting with a dash camera 70 mai M500 and ExifTool (v. 12.57). The result was that no GPS data as Phil mention. Possibly I am not combining the options properly.

On the other hand, I ran the .mp4 file with a free subtitle extraction software (SubtitleVideo) and realized the video contains metadata - date/time and GPS coordinate. The format of data from this subtitle extraction software is not suited for further processing, I think.

The videos of newest 70mai cameras are accompanied with a text file with a name like this: GPSData000001.txt. It is located in the main folder of the internal camera memory (M500 model is equipped with a 64 Gb internal memory - no memory card slot).

File GPSData000001.txt contains GPS data in tabular format - date/time in Unix format, GPS coordinates and others. Is there a known approach to convert this file in other formats, for example .GPX?

Could ExifTool help with this task?

ExifTool doesn't convert between GPS formats.  I think there is an app called gpsbabel that does this.
