Apologies David for not getting back to you, but haven't been in the car since last Saturday. Had a few chores to do today, so took the opportunity of repositioning the dashcam.



The red box indicates where it was originally located, and worked fine from. The only issue is the tint making night time footage quite dark.



The above image is from GPS viewer software, with a few other windows open as well. What they show are as follows:

1. Folder view of GPS data. Files are created
2. One of the log files opened, which shows zero contents
3. The speed trace which is empty
4. A popup window when you hover over a spot on the timeline
5. Google map of the area

As you can see from numbers 2 to 4, there is no GPS data recorded at all, with the dashcam in the new lower position.

I also let the car run for a minute or so before initially setting off, so that it could get a GPS lock, but no luck. That definitely confirms that the heater matrix in the windscreen does not go up to the tinted area.

If you do opt for one of these additional GPS pucks, it looks like positioning it in the tinted area should give you a GPS lock.

Do you know if Jim even got his dashcam fitted, as it was the same model as mine, although can't remember if he went for the GPS one or not.
