@@alekseyorlov799 Thank you for this. I have been wondering about Strava and will definitely try your advice. That said, GoPro is unfair promoting their cameras as having GPS data when people are having such difficulties.
@@ajacobs100 well, for several reasons. First - you won't loose 'a day of telemetric' if GoPro GPS sensor fails. Second - Strava is able to record much more telemetric parameters like HR, Power, Cadence which are added to video in one click. Third - you don't have to pay a penny for Strava as well as for vochilloop.
there is an extra thing to this: you will Also have to wait for GPS lock.. by pressing the top-button you will Never have a lock at recording-start which is why the recording won't have data.. if you use the side-button but Don't wait for a GPS lock: same result
@@NepDouble07 if you get to the settings-menu (swipe down from main screen) There is a GPS-marker pin icon at the top.. I think it turns Green when it has a lock..
With the 8 Black, stickers and telemetrics are no longer supported. GoPro also has no plans to fix this. I was told this by GoPro when I was trying to figure out why I could not use the GPS information. You can still use your phone to use the GPS stickers, but this is a HUGE inconvenience for me.
I wish it were this easy. I have tried for 2 weeks to get GPS, and nothing. My GoPro 5 worked every time. I use my GoPro on a bike and unless GoPro fixes this, I'll have to report that I just wasted my money.
What i found is, on the desktop GoPro still not release the latest update. And actually there is no data profile for hero 8. So you need to create and modify the file from the previous model. I made a video about it, and it solve this problem at this time.
Orville Harris I agree. I had the same issue, contacted GoPro “service” many times and they are absolutely horrible and they don’t even try to help anymore. I’m pretty disappointed myself.

No GPS data on Hero 7, no matter what I do. I even sent it back to GoPro, and the replaced it with another camera that has the same problem. Worst company ever!
I have hero 5 before I was adding the speedometer but after the update I can't and your solution does not working can you help me I think I don't hava a date gps.
Gps doesn't work in my 6 black or 7 black. I've tried/watched EVERY video out there and cannot get my GPS data to record. Super frustrating to spend thousands of dollars on GoPro's but not having a basic function work...at all!
Omg thank you! I just came home from my bike tour, i tried to get a entire round so i have the telemetric data. Came home and i was so mad when i realized it didnt took gps data.
What about when using voice commands to start recording? Mine seems spotty. 7 Black. GPS worked fine on a ride last Fall. Now I’ve used it twice this Summer using voice recognition and the GPS isn’t working.
Thank you for the advice... I was racking my brain on this one..... do you have any advice for Mac users and Gopro Quick app not working in cresate mode??
Ok so I had a chance to try it on my GoPro, it works the same way make sure you turn it on with the power button, and GPS is turned on. Also the god overlay is not automatic, when you edit your clip you need to add it as a sticker
Hello, I greet you from Mexico and I have the same problem as many here, my Hero 5 does not work telemetry, the GPS icon is on on my camera, but when recording video, Windows Quick App tells me that I have to activate first and I don't understand why this happens to me, I use the "Telemetry Extractor" software and I realize that the video was recorded with Telemetry data and everything is fine, but when trying to do it with the original GoPro software It doesn't work for me. I am very disappointed in the brand, I have been a user of these cameras for more than 15 years and now I will look for another better option, perhaps the Garmin Virb can help me.
GPS and telemetery not working right? Of course, this is the GoPro experience! The Hero 7 Black can't even reliably shut off, so I pull the battery after every video. When it's time to shoot another video I re-install the battery and turn it on to let it sniff for satellites and eventually I get the location icon. Yay, time to record! But the yay turns to wtf when reviewing the videos in Quik as it becomes painfully obvious the GPS and telemetry data work for a short time but soon become frozen or completely disconnected from what's really happening. I'd love to hear GoPro's excuse for this steaming hot failure. My free GPS phone apps never suck at this level.
One other thing you might be aware of. My MacBook Air sometimes does not see the telemetry data and yet my iPhone does see the data. Just be aware that the data may be there and you may need to try a different software or different device. Don't take the editors word for it.
Found any fix? i had a trackday months ago and forgot the GPS setting, now made 100 times sure the GPS was on, had a trackday come home and cant add gauges..... icon is grey but no cross
@@Grandpasaab it eventually fixed itself. I left it 10 minutes on before i got in the kart but u need to be outside. It seems like the walls of the house are blocking the gps signals.

This is still not working for me. I turned it on the way you suggest, saw the GPS button turn bright from a dull gray, but when I play back the video using Quick, the same message...no GPS data. Do I need to be traveling at a certain speed for GPS data to be recorded?

yeah just came back from track day and realized all the videos are recorded without telemetrics
I figured this issue out the hard way. I wish I had found this earlier. Is there a way to see if the GPS data is saved on an existing file?
If gps wasn't on during filming, gps data wasn't captured. So there is no way to recover old footage.

Even doing it that way wont work unless the GPS has a signal before you click record. Mine seems to take ages to find the satellites.
Your right, you definitely need a signal for it to work but it needs to be started this way for it to work if a signal is present
