Arduino GPS tracker

project explanation

arduino project for a tracker device.

running steps

• Connect your arduino to any gps module and run project_delay.ino or project.ino to start gathering data.
• After gathering adequate data connect arduino to your pc again and run read.ino, and open up serial monitor and copy output coordinates (ignoring first line) to a file.
• open display.html click choose File and choose the file from previous step.
• it'll load the coordinates snap them to roads and displays them.

file explanation:

arduino code

read.ino: reads values stored at EEPROM.

clear.ino: clears EEPROM.

project_delay: reads GPS values periodically.

project.ino: reads GPS values as they change.

web code

display.html: display the gathered data stored at a text file

sc.js: java script code for displaying data

notes

• you should have tinyGPS library to compile arduino code
• you should insert google maps api key & google maps roads api key to be able to display google maps
• code is built for arduino mega, so there's a Serial1. if you're using another arduino convert Serial1 to SoftwareSerial.
• depending on your gps module data may/may not be precise, also note that many gps modules work only in open spaces.
