GPS takes a long while to lock on to the satellites The GPS now locks on faster than the first time use... Shadow1S is learning? Hm...

GPS still not working? Night recording is slightly better than yi dashcam (compared to footages uploaded on youtube).... but not by much.

The GPS takes a long while to connect to the satellites... Hm...

The Yi A12 is newer than the A7LA50... Also have to see what CMOS is being used...

I meant the shadow1s is slightly better at night.

I know... I was talking about the not much part... Hahahaha...

Apparently the GPS takes sometime to connect... Need to test more later...

ohhh haha my satellite abit sot

ok waiting for day shots

Uploaded a morning video in the 1st post... GPS working... LOL!

can you see the other car plate number clearly?

thanks.

Most dashcam I tested, only can clearly see when the car plate is at the front... Very rare can see those moving car plates
