BlackVue G-1 External GPS Receiver (USB)
BlackVue G-1 External GPS Receiver (USB)
Overview
The BlackVue G-1 External GPS Receiver adds GPS to a dash cam that doesn't have it built in — stamping your speed and location onto your footage and plotting your trips on a map in the BlackVue app.
Who it's for
Buy this if your BlackVue model relies on an external GPS and you want speed and location data recorded with your video. That GPS stamp is invaluable for insurance and at-fault disputes, where proving your speed and position can settle a claim.

A closer look
Turn footage into proof
Video alone shows what happened; GPS shows how fast you were going and exactly where. For insurance claims and at-fault disputes, that data can be the difference between a quick resolution and a drawn-out argument. The G-1 stamps speed and coordinates onto every clip and maps your journey in the app.
Plug-in simplicity
The G-1 connects via USB, so there's no hardwiring involved. Mount the receiver near the top of the windscreen for a clear view of the sky, route the lead neatly, and your camera starts logging location automatically.
Compatibility
The G-1 is the USB-type external GPS for BlackVue models that don't have GPS built in and accept an external USB receiver (for example, the DR590X series). Because GPS fitment varies by model and revision, send us your exact model and we'll confirm the G-1 is the correct receiver before you order.
Installation
Plug the G-1 into your dash cam's USB GPS input, mount the small receiver high on the windscreen for a clear sky view, and tuck the lead behind the trim. GPS logging then runs automatically — no settings required.
