About Dashcam
Most dashcams with GPS are built on Novatek's chips, from Viofo's and Vantrue's to Kenwood's, Transcend's and many sold under other names. Each writes a block of GPS a second into the video's data, with the time, the place and the speed, and lists the blocks in a box of the movie's own. BlackVue keeps the GPS's own NMEA lines in a box of its own, and some cameras write an .nmea file beside each clip.
Players show the picture and the time stamped on it, and leave the GPS out. Each maker's viewer reads its own clips on computers, and Dashcam Viewer reads many. After an accident or a ticket, the clip often has to be shown to someone who has none of them.
Filepeek reads the camera's GPS in your browser and draws the route on OpenStreetMap's map beside the video, the dot moving as it plays. The chart under it shows the speed, Show details gives when the clip starts and ends by the GPS's clock, and Export saves the route as GPX, KML or CSV.

Questions
Why doesn't my dashcam video show a route?
The camera needs its GPS plugged in and a fix, which takes a minute after the car starts. Some cameras keep GPS in a layout Filepeek doesn't read, and Show details then says so.
Can I see how fast the car was going?
Yes. The chart under the map shows the speed the GPS measured once a second, and pointing at it shows where the car was.
Can I save the route?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save route as GPX for Google Earth and map apps, KML, or CSV for a spreadsheet.
Which dashcams work?
Viofo, Vantrue, Kenwood, Transcend and most cameras on Novatek's chips, BlackVue, and cameras that write an .nmea file beside each clip. Drop the clip and its .nmea together.
