GPS Dashcams: Location and Speed Logging Explained

A GPS dashcam can attach time, position and sometimes speed data to footage. It does not normally replace a turn-by-turn navigation device.

A GPS dashcam records journey context alongside video, typically including location, time and speed. That can make a route easier to reconstruct, but buyers should understand how the data appears, where it is stored and whether it can be hidden during playback.

Common questions

Questions before you buy

What does GPS do on a dash cam?

It can log the vehicle's position, route, time and speed for compatible playback software. Exact recorded fields depend on the model.

Does a GPS dash cam give driving directions?

Usually not. GPS in a dash cam is normally used to log journey data rather than provide turn-by-turn navigation.

Can speed be removed from dash cam footage?

Some models let you disable the on-video speed stamp while retaining other GPS data. Check the exact camera settings and viewer before buying.

Will GPS work through a windscreen?

It generally can, but signal reception depends on placement and windscreen construction. Follow the manufacturer's mounting guidance and keep the antenna area unobstructed.
