For video recording, the SD card is installed at the GPS or the video recorder? http://www.garmin.com.sg/products/ontheroad/gdr30/ The SD card is installed in the video recorder. The GDR 30 connects to the GPS mount, and while it receives power from the GPS mount, the GPS needs to be plugged in to the mount for it to send power to the GDR. This is something I was not aware of. I don't like to leave my GPS plugged in all the time, so I find it a little bothersome to slot in the GPS all the time when I get in the car. On the the positive side, you don't have multiple wires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the the positive side, you don't have multiple wires. And also, I notice the recording angle is not ideal. Most of the time, the GPS is placed at dashboard level, meaning to say, the video recorder would also be at dashboard level too, hence the car number plates in front of you are blocked by your car bonnet.

Actually, that is not a issue for me. I drive a Suzuki Swift and it's the bonnet is not very long. The video recorer is mounted very close to the windscreen, and has a 110 degrees viewing angle, so number plates are not obstructed. When I stop at the traffic light behind a car at a safe distance (where I can see the back tires of the car), the video recorder captures lot more of the road behind the car that is not visible to me. I will upload a video later for reference. Edited May 19, 2013 by Naresh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
