Virb Edit not reading TrackPointExtension speed

Hi,

I export GoPro GPS data to use it in Virb Edit. Virb does a great job in general, but speeds are between mostly wrong and completely wrong. Calculated speeds only seem decent if the 

trkpt frequency is close to 1 second (it's still lower than the real speed), and "recorded" speeds are completely wrong, even though I'm following Garmin's TrackPointExtension schema: https://www8.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrackPointExtensionv2.xsd

My trkpts look like this

<trkpt lat="43.25934222222222" lon="13.505879233333333">
    <ele>146.82833333333332</ele>
    <time>2020-03-01T14:36:40.515Z</time>
    <extensions>
        <gpxtpx:TrackPointExtension>
            <gpxtpx:speed>0.23555555555555557</gpxtpx:speed>
        </gpxtpx:TrackPointExtension>
    </extensions>
</trkpt>


And the extension is declared at the top:

<gpx xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" 
  xmlns:gpxtpx="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/TrackPointExtension/v2" version="1.1" creator="https://github.com/juanirache/gopro-telemetry">


With high frequencies (18Hz) the calculated speeds are between 0.1 and 0.4 km/h instead of the real ~90 km/h. If I convert the file to 1 sample per second calculated speeds get closer to reality, about 75 km/h.

The "recorded speeds" are always absolutely wrong, and they do not change even if I delete the <extensions> section of each trkpt. So Virb Edit is not reading those data at all, just making up some values based on I don't know what. 

On top is the "recorded" 3D speed, then calculated 3d and calculated 2d. As you can see, there is absolutely no relation between the "recorded" data and reality, but the fact is the speed recorded in the GPX file is correct.



Does anyone know what's going on?

Thank you

  • I didn't used these files in Virb Edit cause I didn't had a Virb at that time.

    I can send you a file that I have used, but I have to search for a proper file first. Give me a day or two.

    I never notisted strange speed values with VirbEdit.

    I always had my Garmin set on as much trackpoints as posible, mainly for geotagging my photo's.

  • Just to report back on the findings, now that the forum is back online, I overlooked the GPX file produced by Garmin themselves, it does not have an accuracy below the second, so it seems we have to stick to that if we want somewhat meaningful speeds being calculated
