For many thrill seekers and adventure lovers, the GoPro camera is the go-to gadget of choice to capture every single moment. The GoPro Hero 5 Black, which was released in September, has a few tricks up its sleeves.

The new "telemetry feature" will allow users to make use of the device's sensors and overlay it on top of their footage. This was possible as the company finally added a feature that has long been overdue: GPS.

With the GPS, the telemetry feature uses gauges through widgets that are placed on top of the action videos. These gauges indicate how fast the user is going, current height or elevation, and even G-Force.

The features are available with the latest update of GoPro's Quik for the desktop. Videos that have already been shot can make use of gauges, as long as the GPS was activated during shooting. Additionally, with the GPS unit inside the Hero 5 Black, the telemetry feature will take the data and create gauges of where you were, and how far you went while capturing the video.

GoPro's telemetry feature is not expected to draw in new customers, but it is expected to make a lot of loyal customers happy. It also eliminates the need to use third-party accessories that may cost more such as the Blast Motion or Polar. For those who like to edit their videos, the added feature will help them identify key highlights to show off.
