Does anyone have a recommendation for an action camcorder that has a GPS receiver built in to it?

The Sony AS30 seems to be a decent option, but I always like to get feedback from people who have got one when possible.

We have been using Garmin VIRBs this year for on-board footage,  very easy to use,  we can read the GPS data into SailRacer's tracking systems.  Also inbuilt screen and will connect to other Garmin devises such as heart rate monitors (not tried yet).  There is an app for remote control which is quite useful for our needs, so we can switch cameras on and off from a rib.

I just sold my GoPro 3 Black to get a VIRB Elite, it's only been a week but I'm glad I swapped. The VIRB seems like a quality product, much better battery life than the GoPro even with the gps. I paid £260 for it on amazon.
