Gvidget - The first GIS enabled flash video player

Ever wanted to connect your video file with GPS position data? now its possible

This is a first Prototype DEMO Version! Im currently working on a flash component which will include many more features and options. All you need for Gvidget to work is a videocam, a gps logger and a digital watch (if your videocam does not have a build in digital timer). For my first test i used the Archos 504 Player with the optional headcam. There are way better action cams on the market but actually any cam, even a build-in mobile phone cam will do. Since i dont know of any cam which is able to write GPS coordinates i used an external GPS Logger. The one i used (RoyalTek RGM 3800) has the options to change the logging interval from 1 - 60 seconds, which gives plenty of options to play with. The RoyalTek writes NMEA files which are a standard logging format for GPS coordinates. And finally i used a digital watch which i synchronized to UTC Time in order to set the start time and syncronize the two devices. Its actually very simple and quick done. Here is all you need:

What you need

The quality of the GPS tracking depends on some factors and some devices may work better then others. Overall i found the results very promising and i will make some test with other trackers as well. Since this is only a prototype i cant supply any code/swf or whatever - this is just a DEMO for now. An actual distributable Gvidget will have many more features like:
