 +        * [[https://​goprotelemetryextractor.com/​gopro-insta-dji-garmin-gpx#​solution|Telemetry Overlay]] ​the editors of the wiki have been very happy using this software in conjunction with their GoPro videos. One minor caveat - at least in Windows - Telemetry Overlay creates large video cache files for performance and does not delete them. So you can take up a lot of disk space when you have generated a lot of videos with Overlay. You may want to go into settings and completely delete all of the cache files as you need from time to time.
