No GPS data for P|I recordings

if recording.type in ("N", "E", "M"):

This avoids importing .gps files for some recordings.
Not having any .gps file is problematic for the popular Dashcam Viewer. It requires .gps data on all files to work properly (bug on their part).
I suppose importing these .gps files was caising issues since you added this condition, but in that case, would it be possible to add something like this?

if recording.type in ("P", "I"):
    touch recording.base_filename+".gps"

not sure if there are other events than N, E, M, P, I.

I'm sorry, I had not noticed this issue had been created.

I was not aware of the camera producing gps files for parking and impact, but I could be mistaken.

Will follow-up shortly.

Thanks. Honestly after a while I did not encounter any problem anymore, which is why I ended up closing the issue. This is probably not an issue and was just a bug on Dashcam Viewer. But it's possible that .gps files are still generated for P/I files, I'm really not sure.

Many thanks for this bug report. should be fixed now.
