If (when) I buy one , it will be a GPS combined with dashcam. Some dashcams are rubbish, you can't read number plates etc. The problem, as far as I am concerned, is that if you leave the dashcam mounting visible, or even the marks of a suction cap on the windscreen, people may smash your window to find out where you hid it, even if you did take it with you. There was a big outbreak in France of this kind of thing a year or two ago.

Have been using a Garmin gps for the last  9 years, dash mounted, on 3 different cars, never had a problem.  But then again I don't live in France.
