Is this something that will be incorporated in the near future? Record with GoPro as main, transfer over to phone, overlay using HLT software???

As the protocol is not public, this will take some time to find out. I certainly plan to use this new feature but need to balance the time with other development plans.

It's not necessary to transfer the videos from gopro with the hlt app ?
You can use the free app "GoPro" and copy the files to your iOS device. After that you can import the video in the hlt app and use it with your track datas ?

I hope you understand what i mean and also i understood your posting right. ( My "best-english-time" is a little bit ago )

I'm very happy about every single update, new features and so on, but in this case you can use the transfer without giving Harry days to work on a not such an important update

Yes, that should be possible. The disadvantage is you will not get the (half) automatic alignment of laps and videos, you need to do this yourself.

Correct I believe doing manual transfer using the gopro app means you still need to manually adjust for exact overlaying. Not to mention I think when you transfer from gopro to iPhone using gopro app, it decompresses video to lower quality...?

Thats correct, but you´ll get a lower quality when you make a gopro video and convert it to make it compatible with a iPhone 3 / 4 anyway ....

What i found out:
When you transfer the lap informations to a iPad and copy also the videos with the gopro app you (should) keep the quality high: Using the gopro app on an iPad you get the selection "high quality" "lower quality" and it takes more time to copy the video from gopro to your iPad than to the iPhone....
