It's all done using standard software, so anyone can do it. 1) Record you run using a smartwatch or phone (tracking) and an action camera like GoPro. I use a cheap Garmin watch and a GoPro 12 camera. 2) I get a jpg-copy of the map and use the app "Quickroute" (free) to adjust the tracking to be precisely right. I add all the control points. Finally I export the adjusted map and an xml-file with all the trackingdata. 3) I use the app "Headcam Orienteering" (free) which I have made together with Michael Møller. In this app you simply import the map, the xml-file and the GoPro-videofiles and it will generate a video with integrated map (one or two). The app helps you adjust the timing, allows you to improve the video-quality and you can choose where and how the maps should be. In this case I have used a small zoom-window and a larger "leg"-window. You can download Headcam Orienteering v. 5.3 here: wobelix.dk/blog/headcam-orienteering/
Thanks Ernst, great video as always 👍
Thank you. I'm hoping that by recording a variation of runs it will be easier to produce markering-videos for the sport of orienteering along the way.
Hi Ernst, great video. btw, could you introduce your process of headcam video. How did you put two maps on it? thanks.
