GoPro HERO12 Black

Full control and sync, without a GPS receiver.

The HERO12 Black has no GPS receiver, but TRACK doesn’t need one from the camera: it syncs footage by matching the camera’s motion data to your session.

01What it adds to TRACK

What it adds to TRACK

  • 01

    Records when you do

    Opt in and the camera starts and stops with your TRACK session. No reaching for the shutter in the pit lane.

  • 02

    Clock set from your phone

    TRACK sets the camera’s clock when it connects, so footage and laps start out aligned.

  • 03

    Synced automatically

    After the session, TRACK matches the camera’s motion data to your session and lines the video up with your laps, with the remaining uncertainty shown. You can nudge it by hand.

  • 04

    Broadcast overlays on your footage

    Speed, delta, sectors and the track map drawn on the video in the same graphics as TRACK Live, ready to replay or export.

02How it connects

05Where it stands

Tested, pending, and good to know.

Verified so far
  • Bluetooth control implemented from the Open GoPro spec and emulator-tested.
Still to do
  • No physical GoPro has been connected to TRACK yet.
  • Wi-Fi import needs Apple’s Hotspot Configuration entitlement for the TRACK app.
  • Real-world sync accuracy (≈6–20 ms on synthetic tests) still has to be measured on a car.
Good to know
  • GoPro GPS can only be read after the file is written, so TRACK uses it to sync video and as a secondary trace, never for live lap timing.
  • Live preview in TRACK’s pre-session check isn’t available yet.
  • Without GPS in the file, sync relies on motion alone; very smooth sessions give it less to match.
