I received a GoPro4 Silver as a Christmas present, and have an iPhone6 (with 128GB of memory), and a motorcycle. And recently purchased the Pro version of TrackAddict, and am completely clueless about all of this.
I would like to use the GoPro to record some track days and occasional back-road runs on the motorcycle. And I would like to use TrackAddict to embed -- at some point in the final video -- a speedometer overlay in those videos. That's the goal.
I think I understand that in order to accomplish this I have to run TrackAddict on the phone, and also that I have to have the phone and the GoPro talk to each other via Bluetooth. Once that communication is established, I'm at a loss here.
What I'd like to do is keep the phone -- once I start TrackAddict -- in the topcase on my motorcycle. That is, I don't want to actually use the phone's camera, nor do I want the phone mounted on the outside of the bike -- just the GoPro. But I understand that I have to have TrackAddict active, in order that the combination of the TrackAddict software and the hardware in the phone can keep the velocity information coming in.
Before I received the GoPro, I did some playing around with recording video just using the iPhone and TrackAddict, and it was very nice, worked as intended, etc. However, as I mentioned, for reasons of physical security and integrity, I would rather not have the phone mounted on the motorcycle where it is exposed to the outside world.
I imagine I'm not the first person who has this combination of hardware and software, and probably not even the first person with that combination on a bike. Would someone who has this setup -- or who just understands what I think I'm trying to accomplish -- be willing to give me some advice here... assuming what I want to accomplish is even possible?
Thanks for any help.
