The checkered flag is awarded to the movie with the fastest speeds. Sorry, no prizes are given.
8. Wrench icon
The wrench icon appears next to movies whose GPS data needed some kind of post-processing. Hover the mouse on top of the icon to see a short explanation. Possible reasons for seeing the wrench icon include:
- Bad GPS time stamp detected
- Bad GPS position datum detected
- Bad speed value detected
- Missing GPS data detected
9. Active/Inactive Checkbox

10. Double-Click Movie Item
You can double-click an active movie item in the list to jump to it. If playback was previously on, the movie will start playing immediately.

Thanks
Hi, as a user of your Mac version, is the Viofo A119 now supported? Cheers.
Yes, Robert, it does although there are multiple variations of A119 firmware that encoded the GPS data differently. Version 2.5.1 will do a better job at handling the idiosyncrasies of the A119 encoded GPS data.
