Has GPS overlay from the Sony HDR-AS100V camera.  Looks like the refresh rate isn't optimal for this sort of thing.

 

The first minute is just sitting in the hot pit...skip it.

Is that a new feature with the Sony cam?  Or did you use a program to add the overlay after the fact?  I've got an action cam and I don't recall seeing that option.

The AS100V has GPS as does the AS30V - most of the other Sony action cams don't (AS15, AS20).

 

Assuming you have a GPS-capable model, and the GPS is enabled in the camera setup, it'll take the coordinates while it's recording and then you use the free Sony software (Action Cam Movie Creator + PlayMemories Home -- though you only need Action Cam Movie Creator) to put in the overlays.

 

You can only select 3 or 4 different overlays, so not a lot of options, but it's a neat feature I suppose.  This was my first time using it.

That overlay is pretty neat, always love finding videos that show track map/location when trying to approach a new track.

 

So the Sony software did the whole overlay?  Ever try dashware or anything similar?

 

Hopefully I'll be trying to figure this crap out after the next track day.

Ryan, I think you're better off with what you're looking for in your GPS laptimer thread.  You can tell the Sony setup is a poor man's GPS - probably better suited to trail riding on a mountain bike or kayaking, but if you just want the overlay for some sanity-check, then the AS100V is your camera.

 

The "Action Cam Movie Creator" is free with the Sony camera and does the overlays for you - you choose one of four layouts and there is no customizing, you get what you get. (You're really just changing the icon on how the speed is displayed)  I've attached a couple screencaps from the program.

I have not used any other software (e.g. Dashcam) other than Lightworks 12.x to do any video editing.
