Import GoPro video with GPS telemetry
Last updated 8 days ago
A GoPro that records GPS gives you two things at once: full lap analysis from the telemetry, and your footage with the data drawn over it.
Before you film
- Use a GoPro model that records GPS telemetry, and turn GPS on in the camera's settings before the session.
- Give the camera a clear view of the sky and let it acquire a fix before you head out.
Steps
- Get the video file onto your phone (the GoPro app, AirDrop, a cable, or cloud storage all work).
- In LapperSnapper, open the Import tab and tap Choose a file.
- Pick the .mp4 file. The app reads the GPS telemetry embedded in the video.
- The session appears in Sessions with laps, the track map, sectors, and coaching — same as any other source.
Watching the video
Open the session's Video tab to play your footage with speed, lap time, delta, and a live track map overlaid. See Watch your lap with a telemetry overlay.
If no laps appear
The camera may not have had GPS enabled or a good fix. Check the camera's GPS setting, and see No laps were detected in my session.
