No. ...except if the movie was sent to you and the location was stripped off in transit -- then you might see the location in the original.


I usually check the movie or image location data with a exiftool command like:


exiftool -a -G1 -s -n -ee -Location:All movie.mov


or:


exiftool -a -G1 -s -n -ee '-*GPS*' movie.mov


BTW this does not apply to your situation, but dashcam GPS data is a wild west since many vendors scramble location data in a proprietary way. exiftool developer has reverse engineered numerous such formats.
