Converting dash cam videos into Panoramax images

If I look at Melbourne I see there is some data: https://api.panoramax.xyz/?focus=map&map=5.99/-37.126/147.65...
But if I zoom in the data points disappear: https://api.panoramax.xyz/?focus=map&map=7.45/-37.333/146.16...
Eventually, by random scanning: https://api.panoramax.xyz/?focus=map&map=18.07/-38.084429/14...
I found one point: https://api.panoramax.xyz/?focus=map&map=18.89/-38.0848624/1...
How am I supposed to discover the coverage?
Panoramax coverage is mainly located in France as the project started there. It is a decentralized and federated effort and there is not yet a Panoramax server covering Australia. OpenStreetMap France Panoramax server accepts pictures outside of France, but for testing only.
A test sequence is available here: https://api.panoramax.xyz/?focus=pic&map=18.24/-38.123153/14...
Feels like a "draw a circle. draw the rest of the owl" situation. How much metadata is stored in the video file? Are they storing a GPS update per frame, per second, once at the start of the file? I'm totally unfamiliar with the dashcam used, so I've just never seen the GPS data embedding as describe.
You're unlikely to get good data from all frames automatically due to the changing background but I'd have thought you could get enough good data to make it work.
