Recording Data
The G2X records data to files stored on the compact flash card. Each new recording will create a
separate file in which the data is stored. The file will be stamped with the date and time the recording
was started. The date and time information is obtained from the GPS Satellite data. The date and time
from the GPS data is received in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This means you must program the G2X
with an offset of how many hours your current time is from GMT time. The factory default setting is
Eastern Standard Time (EST).
The G2X will automatically begin a new recording each time the vehicle speed exceeds 25 MPH and
there are at least three locked satellites. The data will continue to record until the vehicle speed drops
below 25 MPH for 30 seconds or the power is turned off. It is recommended that you wait for the
recording to stop before turning the power off to the G2X. However, if the power is turned off while the
G2X is recording, only the last 5 seconds of data will be lost.
