I’m working the whole day to get the Max 2 files compatible with Street View Studio, no luck unfortunately… Gemini was very helpful, but no luck. I can extract the GPX with the Power Shell I created, that’s not an issue, but using in Streetview is an pain in the … The GPX file is different than the one they used for the Max 1, the Max 2 has more precise data but SVS doesn’t like it…
See the batch script below I use for the basic stuff to get the GPX, it should work for Max 2. You’ll need gpx.fmt file for this and ffmpeg and Exiftools and ofcourse Mapillary tools.
I’ve got a PS script for more complex work, but this batch file should do the trick for you (GPX file). Change al the directories to yours.

MAX caps are extremely fiddly. It is always nerve racking to get off the caps in the field without smudging the lenses.
Time zone support but no GPS clock syncing in the menu out of the box? A rather peculiar design choice. Well, certainly an improvement over the MAX in this regard.
Though, fraction second data does not percolate over to 
By that year, this job is going to be done 99.9% of the time by AI

fully automated all year round long time. So, I am not sure there is going to be much need for such a camera. 
1984 is late but it is coming for sure. 
And, it is going to be even worse than in the novel.
