Arduino Uno GPS Tracker Kit: Plot Your Route on TFT Display
Track and Plot Your Route in Real-Time with the Arduino Uno GPS Asset Tracker Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Create your own portable asset tracker that captures every turn and straightaway of a journey. This kit uses an Arduino Uno and NEO-6M GPS module to log your route, then draws a dot trail on the included 1.8-inch TFT display-automatically scaling the view to fit the entire path, whether it's a walk around the neighborhood or a drive across town.
What You'll Build
A battery-powered GPS tracker that records latitude and longitude coordinates as you move. The screen shows a moving dot that leaves a persistent trail behind it, mapping your route in real time. The display's zoom level adjusts on its own so the full track remains visible from start to finish, giving you a complete visual playback of your day's exploration.
What You'll Learn
- Reading raw NMEA sentences from the NEO-6M GPS module
- Parsing latitude, longitude, and speed data into usable values
- Converting geographic coordinates to pixel positions on the ST7735 TFT
- Implementing dynamic scaling to keep the entire path on screen

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately
| Factor | Sourcing Separately | Compoden Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility checks | You verify every part | Pre-tested as a system |
| Build support | Forums and scattered tutorials | AI companion trained on this exact project |
| Time to first working build | Days of debugging | Hours, with step-by-step guidance |
| Shipping coordination | Multiple sellers, multiple delays | One shipment from Bengaluru in 3-5 days |
Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for school students exploring GPS technology for the first time, especially those in CBSE Class 8-10 science and ATL Tinkering Labs. Engineering undergraduates in B.Tech ECE or related streams can use it to understand serial data parsing and display interfacing. Hobbyists and parents looking for a hands-on weekend project with their kids will also find the build accessible and rewarding.
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?
Scan the QR code on the kit box to chat with the AI companion that knows every wire and code line for this tracker. You can also send a message on WhatsApp for direct help.
Can this track routes indoors or only outdoors?
The NEO-6M GPS needs a clear view of the sky to receive satellite signals. Use it outdoors for walking, cycling, or driving; it will not work reliably inside buildings.
Does the kit include a battery?
The kit contains a 9V battery snap to connect a standard 9V battery, but the battery itself is not included. Any 9V alkaline battery works perfectly.
What kind of routes can I record?
Any land-based journey works-morning walks, bicycle rides, or car trips. The auto-scaling feature adjusts the map whether you travel 100 meters or several kilometers.
Asset - NEO-6M GPS plots walked or driven track as dot path on TFT. Scale auto-adjusts to fit route.
