G-Metrix
Using the built-in GPS receiver and sensors, your camera can
detect G-force, altitude, speed, orientation, and many other
performance metrics. This data is saved automatically as G-
Metrix data. You can capture even more G-Metrix data by
wirelessly connecting external ANT+ sensors, other Garmin
devices, and compatible Bluetooth sensors, such as OBD-
II sensors.
You can use the Garmin VIRB mobile app or the VIRB Edit
desktop application to overlay G-Metrix data onto your video
using gauges, graphs, and more. You can play and share your
edited videos to show your speed, acceleration, heart rate, and
other sensor data in real time.
