GPS Remote for Action Cams
· v1.0
About
Turn your Garmin watch into a GPS remote for DJI Osmo Action cameras. The GPS
comes from the watch on your wrist — so DJI Mimo can show speed, route, and
elevation overlays in your footage even when your phone stays in your pocket.
Built for skiing, biking, and action sports.
WHAT IT DOES
- Start / stop video recording from your wrist
- Switch Photo, Video and take photos, without powering the camera off
- Streams your watch GPS into the video in real time for speed / route /
elevation overlays in DJI Mimo
- Auto-connects on launch and auto-reconnects if the link drops
- Button-only controls (no touch) so a stray screen-tap on the slopes can't
fire the camera
- Clear connection + GPS-fix indicators
CONTROLS
UP / DOWN move the highlight - START activates - hold MENU for diagnostics
HOW TO USE
1. Turn on your DJI Osmo camera.
2. Open the app - it connects automatically and the camera shows the
GPS-remote icon.
3. Record or shoot from the watch; your movement is geotagged into the footage.
4. Add the dashboard overlay in the DJI Mimo editor.
COMPATIBLE CAMERAS
DJI Osmo Action 4 Pro, Action 5 Pro, Action 6 (tested), Osmo 360
PLEASE NOTE
- Disconnect this app before using DJI Mimo - the camera pairs with one
Bluetooth controller at a time.
- Keep the app open during a session (Connect IQ Bluetooth is foreground-only).
- GPS + Bluetooth together use extra battery.
- Your GPS is sent only to your paired camera - nothing is collected or leaves
your devices.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by DJI. "DJI", "Osmo", and "Mimo" are
trademarks of their respective owner, used only to describe compatibility.
