GoPro HERO13 GPS overlay
After the HERO12 went without, GoPro says GPS returns with the HERO13 Black, in the GPS9 format. Shycut reads it from the file and draws a ride gauge on your own device.

What a HERO13 Black records
What Shycut draws from it
- A ride gauge
- Speed, altitude, lean angle and g-force, read from the GPS9 data in the file and drawn into the video as it plays.
- Turned on by itself
- Open the video with the ride recipe and the gauge appears when the file carries GPS; choose what it shows and where in the Ride tab.
- Your route stays private
- The gauge never draws the map or coordinates, and the time near places you mark as private can be blurred or cut using the same GPS.
GPS9 only
The HERO13 records GPS9 alone, without the older GPS5 the HERO11 kept for compatibility. An overlay tool that only understands GPS5 finds nothing in a HERO13 file; Shycut reads GPS9, with its time and fix quality, directly.
Readings arrive 10 times a second. Shycut smooths them into a steady speed, works lean angle and g-force out of the track, and leaves out the map, so the video shows how you rode, not where you live.

Questions
Does the GoPro HERO13 have GPS?
Yes. GoPro’s documentation says GPS returns with the HERO13, recorded as GPS9.
Why doesn’t my old overlay tool read HERO13 files?
The HERO13 writes only GPS9. A tool that reads just GPS5 finds no GPS; Shycut reads GPS9.
Can I hide where a ride starts and ends?
Yes. Mark places as private and Shycut blurs or cuts the time spent near them, using the same GPS.
