Arduino GPS Tracker Kit - Record Path, Speed & Altitude
Arduino GPS Tracker Kit - Build Your Own Path, Speed & Altitude Logger
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Track your outdoor journeys, monitor vehicle routes, or record hiking paths with precise GPS data. This kit combines an Arduino Uno, NEO-6M GPS module, and a real-time clock to log latitude, longitude, altitude, and speed every 10 seconds onto an SD card, while displaying live stats on a 16�2 LCD. It's a self-contained data logger you can carry anywhere.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a standalone GPS tracker that captures your location and movement metrics. After wiring the components and uploading the provided code, the device shows real-time coordinates, speed, and altitude on the LCD. Simultaneously, each data point gets a timestamp from the DS3231 RTC and is saved to a microSD card. Use it on a car trip, a long walk, or to map any route you explore.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing NEO-6M GPS module with Arduino Uno
- Parsing GPS NMEA sentences to extract coordinates, altitude, and speed
- Displaying live data on a 16�2 LCD using I2C
- Writing timestamped data to a microSD card with a real-time clock

Who This Kit Is For
This intermediate Arduino project is perfect for CBSE Class 11-12 students working on physics or computer science assignments, first-year B.Tech (ECE/EEE) learners exploring embedded systems, and Smart India Hackathon participants needing location logging. It's also ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab innovators and hobbyists who want a portable GPS logger for outdoor activity tracking.
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?
The AI companion in the QR code walks you through wiring and code step by step. If you still have questions, message us on WhatsApp and an experienced maker will help you within hours.
Can I view the logged GPS data as a map?
Yes. The SD card stores CSV files with latitude, longitude, and timestamps. Import them into Google Earth or any mapping tool to see your captured path.
Does this kit support real-time tracking over mobile networks?
No, this is a standalone data logger. For real-time tracking, you'd need a GSM module. This kit focuses on offline logging, which is simpler and great for learning GPS fundamentals.
Is the kit portable and battery-operated?
Absolutely. It runs on a 9V battery (snap included), so you can carry it anywhere without a laptop. The LCD shows live GPS data on the go.
NEO-6M GPS shows coordinates, altitude and speed on LCD. Logs to SD every 10 seconds.
