How to add data for OBD-II sensors in gpx file

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi

I need to put some extra data values in a gpx file, I noticed in the latest version of Virb that there are gauges for OBD-II sensors, which seems to be various standard data from engines in cars.

How can data be included in the gpx file, I haven't been able to find anything related to OBD-II data in gpx files.

Thanks in advance

I have really spend hours and hours searching for a GPX file containing some of these OBD data, such as "Engine Load", "Engine RPM" or "Throttle Position" without any luck.

Any help is greatly appriciated

Hello KenJen2,
As far as I am aware, there are not any GPX extensions that allow for OBD data. Even if there is one, it would not be supported by VirbEdit. Normally, OBD data gets written to a .fit file automatically when you pair an OBD sensor with your Virb camera. When you import your video, VirbEdit should be detect that it is there and let you see it in your video.

I would've thought the information would be saved in a fit file but I don't have an XE so can't confirm.

Thanks for your response.

I have now tried to genereate a fit file instead of a gpx file, and I got some of it up and running for lat, long, cadance, power, heart rate etc, but I really can't figure out how to include these OBD-II sensor data to the fit file, shall it be added to the Record message in the activity file, or is it another type of message?

I use the Fit SDK and C# for generating the fit file.

Any help is greatly appriciated
