I made an assumption that the image recoded on the googles would be the same as I view in the goggles, including instrumentation.   I was sad to see that this was not the case, I figured there would be a setting for this, but I was unable to find one.  So, what is the point of recording to the goggles when we can record to bird.  

The main reason I often record to goggles is to have a record of transmitted video quality. It's also possible the recording in the goggles could help find a crashed drone.
The data you see in the goggles is recorded in the logs. Apparently it's possible to convert the log data into a format which can be used with subtitles but this process isn't straight forward.
Here's a link to a thread about the data logs in case you're not aware of how to access these.
