Video with GPS

I've been shooting videos of my bike rides. here's and example, its at 6x speed so its not so boring:

I've been interested in finding a way to more tightly integrate the video and the gps map info. Specifically I'd like to be able to click on the turns and intersections in the map and instantly go to that part of the movie.

I've look around and am amazed at how fast automobile dashcam tech is changing. Here's a camera i found that records very good video with gps. The way they do it is when recording the movie, in a separate directory create a file of gps info so the filenames link them together. here's one of the cameras on deep discaunt at amazon:

and here is some softare that allows viewing the movie and map info together the way I want.
https://dashcamviewer.com/

The camera I'm looking at isn't on the list that the software supports. I sent a message to the dashcamviewer author whether the camera would work, but might buy it anyway since its so cheap.

I have nothing useful to add to this thread but just want to say that I enjoyed the parts of the video that I watched.

You rode through the train station!? Was that Hoboken?

The woman on the Citibike at 6:30 dropped you LoL.

Bikes: yes

I purchased front and rear cameras recently, Cycliq Fly12 and Fly6.

If you have GPS data (Strava, Mapmyride, etc.) I've played around with this software to add overlays with various data, speed, RPM, HR, elevation, GPS, etc.: DashWare - Telemetry Data Overlay on Your Videos

The stock GPS overlay in the Dashware software only shows the outline of my route, with no underlying actual map data. There is a way to create and insert custom overlays, so it may be possible to create an overlay with map data, but I haven't tried that yet.

As a general editing tool I've used this: Video Editing Software. Download Free Video Movie Editor

My editing skills are very, very, very basic, but the Videopad software seems very robust and there could be a way to add clickable bookmarks like you suggest, but I do not know that for sure.

Last note: the Fly12 has a companion smartphone App that allows you to sync your video with your Strava account and download your ride data as an overlay, so it does a lot of the dirty work for you. However, you can only do this on your smartphone, and it takes a *really* long time to sync, download the data, and edit the video to include the overlays -- I'm talking like 15-20 minutes for a 30-second clip.

For me, it's only useful if there is an actual incident on the road that I would want to report, because otherwise it takes so much time and space that I don't bother.

that was Hoboken. You have to dismount and push through the station. There is another way through Hoboken, toward the front where the ferry docks are that is sometimes open and you can ride through, but due to security its often closed now.

The whole route along the Hudson on the Jersey side is a bit disorganized. almost all had no distinct bike lane and there are lots of apartment-condos on it with very little space for kids so people often bring there little toddlers to the path to play. they dart around so I've learned to go slow if i see much going on.

And as far as the woman dropping me, I've learned to not compare myself to people around here, there are too many olympic level athletes, pro athletes, acrobat , entertainers of both sexes in great shape around here. One time i was riding up the Manhattan bridge and a chick which huge long legs on a citibike passed me. My excuse is i was on a long ride so I had to pace myself.

the dashcamviewer software seems do everything i want for only $35 so i figure i will give it a try. I'm going to keep a close eye on the dashcam products, they seem to want pretty much the same fetures i want. Here's a pretty good videos of the software:

It has not been frequently maintained, and it probably isn't appropriate for most cycling situations, but I've used an iOS app called Vidometer, which gives you several options for GPS overlays on a video track. FWIW.
