    I did a 1500Km/day, 2 days in total like yours last summer from Northern Denmark to Southern Greece with a Garmin dash cam mini but I'm tool lazy to edit and upload. It contains a super storm outside Belgrad with thunders and roads like rivers and traffic jamming and cars in the water up to the mid of the door. Hopefully I'll do it.

      I recorded this using the Garmin Virb Ultra 30, which records GPS information. The Virb software extracts the GPS data and puts it on the video to my choosing, and I do all of the rest of the editing using Final Cut Pro. I bring my MacBook with an external hard drive to back up the 512 GB micro SD card that I use each night. I create the graphic overlays separately and add them when I edit the video.

    • @unclecoolie

      In the wintertime it's usually very sunny in Florida, and it's the driest time of the year there. But cold fronts come through which bring clouds and rain on some days. It was between two different cold fronts when I was in Miami (which is why it was so cold on the way down, and why it got cold once I got to Georgia and the Carolinas).
