2. Hardware Requirements
• Arduino Uno: The microcontroller board that will serve as the core of the GPS tracker.
• GPS Module (e.g., NEO-6M): This will receive signals from GPS satellites and provide location
data.
• GSM Module (optional, e.g., SIM800L): To send location data over SMS or an internet
connection.
Software Requirements
Source Code
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
void loop() {
// Read data from the GPS module and send it to the
computer
if (gpsSerial.available()) {
char c = gpsSerial.read();

Software Description
}
The GPS tracker built with an Arduino Uno is a simple yet powerful project that
leverages the capabilities of GPS modules and the flexibility of Arduino. By
interfacing the Arduino with a GPS module, we can easily extract real-time
geographical data such as latitude, longitude, and altitude. This data can then be
used for various applications such as tracking vehicles, monitoring locations, or
integrating with communication modules like GSM to send updates remotely.
By understanding the fundamentals of GPS communication, interfacing
with modules, and using Arduino, we have created a cost-effective GPS tracking
system that is easy to modify, extend, and apply in numerous fields.
