I bought an E-Prance dashcam, with GPS module. It works, but when I review the video, the trace is all in the North Sea, and not in the UK where it should be. I've just tried the options in the DataKam Player, and it appears that "flip/reflecting X" coordinates puts it in the right place. Why might this be?

East of Greenwich eastings (co-ordinates) are a positive value of degrees etc, but for West, the values are negative.
Sounds like something is getting its East and West co-ordinates transposed. Lucky you are not in the South Atlantic where you would be if it had got its North(+)/South(-) co-ordinates transposed.
