See this link for some more explanation for what it is likely to be:

Its almost certainly designed for a car reversing camera, but is really a standard video input. That is if your GPS was advertised with it - many have the port but there isn't anything connected to it on the inside...
My suggestion: Try it and see!
I have no idea what formats it is likely to support - your guess is as good as mine so some trial and error may be required.
Now I'm wondering if someone can hack the bits together and record their flight onto the GPS...
