Sony HDR-AS30V GPS Kinda Sucks Part 2

     My second video clip of a longer movie shows the poor GPS performance of the Sony HDR-AS30V Action Cam with me walking and jogging around my neighborhood.  The calculated speed from the GPS is all over the map, bouncing from 0 to 8 mph, even though I am traveling at relatively constant speed.  The track again also shows lack of accuracy, part of the track being 10m/30ft off of where I was actually traveling.  I did not walk through people’s back yards as the track shows.
 
 

      Again, what’s the point of having a GPS attached to your video if both the track location itself and the speed are inaccurate and worthless?  I would have rather paid a bit more for one with an accurate GPS, than have one with useless GPS data.

  1. Did you try to install the latest firmware? In affirmative case, probably your camera must have problems with the gps. I saw a few of videos in youtube and all the cameras work fine with the gps. Try ask support from Sony.
