A project for an Undergrad Freshman class where GPS data is collected from a LoraWan device, uploaded to the Cloud, and retrieved by a user through a web-gui. Practical uses include: hiker tracking, car tracking, bike tracking, etc.
The LoRa-GPS device uses a Seeed LoRa Wio-E5 Module (STM32WLE5JC) for communication to The Things Network (TTN).
Data is gathered from a Grove Air530 GPS Module and uplinked to the Cloud using a variety of AT+ commands.
Both modules use Serial to communicate with the Arduino Nano, so the SoftwareSerial library was used.
The data is then stored in the Cloud, to be used whenever the user sends his/her next request.

Due to the early nature of LoRaWAN technologies, there are not as many hotspots set up in the U.S. as there are in Europe. Thus, it can be difficult to test the early viability of the technology. However, when within 2km of a LoRa Gateway, these were the results:
