I still have the Yi camera they list as the "Best Budget Cam" that I picked up on sale at Amazon last year. No frills, but it does the job.

Guidemaster: The best dash cams worthy of a permanent place in your car
Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

Mine has been great for me the last 2.5 years now.

It's funny that the guide lists "no gps" as bad. I consider that a plus. I'd recommend never having your speed displayed on your dash camera.
Losbot I also have an A119. I recently bought another for the rear because tailgating has gotten really bad lately.
I had this happen recently. Ancient woman bluffs her way into traffic. I should've hit the brakes sooner but I didn't expect her to stay in my lane.

This is the one I got back in 2014: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N8 ... UTF8&psc=1
Currently in use in my truck. I need it as I deal with idiots on bicycles around a college area. When I bought it, it was cheaper than what is currently listed. My only complaint is the time. Every month, I have to readjust the time since it +5 minutes per month.

Yeah I don't see a need for GPS. Mine doesn't have one.

The GPS is not a bad thing if you are placing it in a work vehicle. I too, prefer to not display my speed. I also don't record audio, as they don't need to hear me cursing up a storm.
Re: Guidemaster: The best dash cams worthy of a permanent place in your car
In a work vehicle, it makes sense to have GPS. I record the audio on my front camera but end up cutting it out because Youtube will copyright claim the music I'm listening to. In the clip I posted above, you would've heard be blaring on the horn and then missing second gear when I took off again had I not muted and trimmed it.Losbot wrote:The GPS is not a bad thing if you are placing it in a work vehicle.

This could be a firmware issue. If you're comfortable flashing it, it may be worthwhile to update it. I'd read the release notes and see if your issue is addressed before messing with it.Executioner wrote: My only complaint is the time.
