It's a cool idea n clever software but not my cuppa.

I fancy a stand alone unit that lives in the car :thumb2

I downloaded it and took it for a run, VERY impressive, potholes set of the G sensor [Essex is 50% potholes]
I am we impressed with the map and the speed showing on replay, much better then the twin dashcam I bought.
I am trialling the Pro version for a week on my Nexus 5, I will try it on my LG500 and Sony Experia P in the next few days
Thanks for the link Makeitfit, good one:thumb2:thumb2

Here is one I took earlier,
Phone holder is portrait, recording is landscape,
The mapping data etc is not captured on the video but shows on the phone

The only thing I have against it is I can't find out how to auto rotate the image ?
On my tablet the image is 180 out (upside down) as I made a custom mount for the Lenovo. If anyone susses out how to flip the screen let me know

I know, I turned my lappie on it's side :lol

Ask the author he got back to me in a couple of hours, I could not read the default file, in the end I found how to change to MP4, all is well now
The one I posted left the phone as default youtube fixed it.
I tried it today on my 6 year old LG500 running android 2.2.2, worked fine
Sony Experia and Nexus 7 tomorrow,
Orientation, according to the settings under 'Sensor settings' there is auto rotation

 

[makeitfit]

Brilliant, I love it when people read the instructions for me, cheers :clap

Old skool! :naughty

 

[makeitfit]

Old skool! :naughty

Oh yes but with one fingernail on tech

 

[kitchenman]

The instruction on the LG500 differ to my Nexus 5, I can't find how to set the screen on the Nexus to auto. Must be the version of Android that makes the difference 2.2.2 againd 4.4

So its payday tomorrow :naughty

I am going to order a dash cam, Ive read so many posts on here about this cam and that cam, and now have seen so many websites im lost.

All I want is

something easily transfered to pc
runs of car mains
loops video
fairly good picture
and mounted to windsheild

EDIT***** and ideally not hogging up my 12v socket, id like to hide it away.

Can anyone advise if their dash cam does all of these?

I dont want any faffing about with converting this file to that ect ect :lol :kissy

So what was the outcome Alex. Did you get one and if so what did you go for? I'm thinking about getting one but there's so many.
