    Autoguard has all the GPS settings that Dailyroads does, you have to go in and turn them on. It also has the map for it as well. As far as compression, if you want a quality video where you can make out faces, and license plates, you are gonna have a large file. My videos are set for 10 minutes of recording time each, thats at 1920x1080 full hd, I have a 32GB storage card I save the files too, I have it set to 20GB storage, once its full it erases the oldest first. My Videos are usually at around 800MB each. So considering I am able to record about 4 hours straight of total video. If it takes you 30 minutes to get a 10minute video off your tablet, then no offense but whatever medium you are using (laptop) is garbage. If your laptop isnt using USB 2.0 or better ports your laptop needs updated.

    the larger the file. the longer the upload. my laptop isn't garbage. it's usb 3.0. so is the phone.

    i have very good quality video at the 640 X 480. it takes up the full screen. shows very great detail. my videos are 15 minutes and peg at 400 megs.

    no offense, but why use more then you need????? i tested that HD setting. and it's overkill in the file size department.

    i have 1 gig set for the sdcard. it records and maintains 2 vids. if i want to keep a certain scene. i can hit the retain button. it maintains the vid and starts a fresh new vid.

    Taking up the full screen means nothing, that just means the program doing the upload upscales the video so it looks like HD. If you upload speed is the issue, then why not get a faster connection speed? Ive seen videos on youtube and break of both programs using all the resolutions capable, and both programs have their faults. But here is where the issue is, 640x480 is standard television resolution, that is what televisions were putting out back in the early 90s. basic HD at 720p is where your quality is best started. Video compression plays a huge point into quality as well, as the higher the compression the smaller the file, the less detail, which if the quality of the video is bad and its being used to support your story, well if its not clear enough, authorities who want that video will look at you and laugh.

    My file size is set for videos I want to upload for my own personal page, but its main purpose is to keep my ### covered so if someone pulls out in front of me, I got their ### handed.


    In the end, if you dont want to deal with file sizes, just get a dash cam like the one from DieselBoss

    your not telling me anything i haven't already known for years.

    you do what works for you and i'll do what works for me. with less space and just as good quality. i see no reason to overkill my file size.

    That is where you are incorrect. Ill gladly put any 1080p video against any 480p video and then ask 100 untrained eyes which video looks better and shows more detail and they will all tell me the 1080 does. Ill then take those same videos to a defense attorney and a state prosecutor. The defense attorney is gonna want the video that has the best quality that exonerates his client or the worst quality that isnt very clear to make a positive ID, and the prosecutor is gonna want the video that has the best quality that convicts the defendant.

    Less space is great, however if your tablet has an expandable storage drive for an SD or micro SD card, then quite frankly your argument is void as SD cards and Micro SD cards are priced to the point where its almost retarded/pointless to have less then a 32GB card. I paid $20 for my 32GB class 10 card at walmart. I have 10GB of music on it, 2 games that take up 1.3gb and 20GB of storage for videos.


    In the end do what you want, but dont be like so many people and sacrifice quality just to save some cash.

    640 X 480 VGA. 15 minutes. 175 megs. looks every bit as good as 1080. at 800 megs.

    You can think that all you want, however that is just not the case.
