15 Using GPS with Your Arduino

In this chapter, you will

  • Learn how to connect a GPS shield
  • Create a simple GPS coordinates display
  • Show the actual position of GPS coordinates on a map
  • Build an accurate clock
  • Record the position of a moving object over time

You’ll learn how to use an inexpensive GPS shield to determine location, create an accurate clock, and make a logging device that records the position of your gadget over time onto a microSD card, which can then be plotted over a map to display movement history.
