This collection of scripts allows the extraction of GPS data that is recorded into the MP4 files of capable GoPro cameras (see GoPro compatibility list). This data can then be imported into other third-party tools to create visualizations and interactive maps, for example, Google My Maps.
These scripts and the libraries they depend on are designed to run on Windows 10. You will also need to install Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux in order to run the combine-gps.sh script (see https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/tutorial-ubuntu-on-windows)
- Download this repository as a zip file and extract the contents.
- Copy all your GoPro MP4 files into a folder, separate from photos and other files (ex.
.THMor.LRVfiles) - Drag one of the MP4 files onto
GPMD2CSV Folder Process.batto start processing that MP4 file and all other MP4 files that are located in the same directory.
- This will create a folder called
GoPro Metadata Extractin the MP4 source folder. - If you simply want to analyze the data of each clip individually, the
.csvfiles can now be found in this folder.
- To combine the GPS location data of all the MP4 files into a single
.csv, ex. for usage in Google My Maps, copy thecombine-gps.shscript into theGoPro Metadata Extractfolder, and double-click it to run.
- This will create a file called
output.csvwhich can then be imported into Google My Maps.
