Arduino GPS Location Logger Kit with NEO-6M - Log Speed & Altitude to SD
Arduino GPS Location Logger Kit: Log Speed, Altitude & Coordinates to SD Card
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine building a device you can carry in your pocket that silently logs every turn, speed burst, and altitude change - then view the entire journey as a CSV file. This kit equips you with the hardware and guidance to create a mobile GPS tracker using the NEO-6M module and an Arduino Uno. Perfect for vehicle tracking experiments, outdoor sports science, or IoT lab assignments.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a compact tracker that reads GPS coordinates from satellites, displays real-time speed and altitude on an LCD, and writes time-stamped data logs to a MicroSD card. The result is a portable black box for any moving object - a bike, a drone, or even a school bus route monitor.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing NEO-6M GPS with Arduino and parsing NMEA sentences for latitude, longitude, and altitude.
- Writing sensor data to an SD card in CSV format using SPI communication.
- Displaying live telemetry (speed, coordinates) on a 16x2 LCD via I2C for reduced wiring.
- Structuring a data logging system with timestamps and creating a self-contained mobile prototype.

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is designed for B.Tech (ECE, EEE, CSE) students working on lab assignments or mini projects. It's also ideal for CBSE Class 12 students exploring GPS and IoT in physics practicals, participants of Smart India Hackathon building vehicle telematics solutions, and ATL labs requiring ready-to-use embedded system projects. Makers at VIT, BITS, NITs, and other universities will find it valuable for rapid prototyping.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion provides step-by-step debugging, and you can WhatsApp us directly for human backup.
Can this tracker work indoors or only outdoors?
The NEO-6M module requires a clear view of the sky; it works outdoors or near a window. Indoor operation without a GPS repeater is not reliable.
How do I view the logged data on my computer?
Insert the MicroSD card into a reader; the CSV file opens in Excel or Google Sheets, showing columns for time, latitude, longitude, speed, and altitude.
What freeware or IDE do I need to program the Arduino?
The Arduino IDE is free and runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. The AI companion includes setup instructions specific to this kit.
