GPS Path Visualizer Kit with Arduino Uno
Drone GPS Navigator Kit with Arduino Uno - Log and Visualize Your Path on a TFT
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn your Arduino into a handheld GPS tracker that records your route and draws it as a dot path on a vibrant TFT screen. Whether you walk, bike, drive, or fly a drone, the NEO-6M module captures every waypoint, and the display auto-scales the map so your entire journey fits on one screen.
What You'll Build
You will assemble a standalone path logger that reads latitude and longitude from the NEO-6M GPS, processes the coordinates on an Arduino Uno, and plots the track as connected dots on a 1.8-inch color TFT. The firmware automatically adjusts the drawing scale - even a long route stays neatly inside the display. Use it handheld during a nature walk, mount it on a bicycle handlebar, or attach it to a drone to record flight paths.
What You'll Learn
- Interface a GPS module and read NMEA serial sentences
- Parse latitude and longitude, then convert them to pixel coordinates
- Drive an ST7735 TFT display to draw points, lines, and labels
- Implement an auto-scaling algorithm that maps real-world movements to a small screen

Who This Kit Is For
Young makers (age 8+) taking their first steps into GPS and data visualization. Ideal for CBSE school projects, ATL Tinkering Lab activities, and curious kids who want to see their movement turned into a map. Hobbyists and drone enthusiasts looking for a breadboard-friendly tracker will also enjoy the simple build and clear output.
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 to start a session with the AI companion, which provides step-by-step troubleshooting. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for personal help.
Can I use this kit to log drone flight paths?
Yes, the compact breadboard and 9V battery make it portable. Attach it to a drone, let the GPS log waypoints, and after landing the TFT will display the auto-scaled flight track.
Does the TFT show a real map or just a path?
It draws your path as dots and connecting lines - no basemap. The scale adjusts to fit your entire route, giving you a clear view of shape, distance, and turns.
Is soldering required?
No soldering at all. Everything connects via the breadboard and jumper wires, keeping the build safe and beginner-friendly.
Drone - NEO-6M GPS plots walked or driven track as dot path on TFT. Scale auto-adjusts to fit route.
