GPS Coordinates Display Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Arduino GPS Coordinates Display Kit: See Latitude, Longitude & Altitude on OLED
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Ever wondered how your phone finds your exact spot on Earth? This kit demystifies satellite navigation by letting you build a handheld GPS receiver that shows real-time latitude, longitude, altitude, and satellite count on a bright OLED screen. It turns raw NEO-6M signals into readable location data — your first step into wireless communication and embedded mapping.
What You'll Build
A compact GPS tracker powered by an Arduino Uno and a 9V battery. Once assembled, you walk outside, and the 0.96-inch OLED instantly updates your coordinates. You'll see how many satellites are locked and your altitude above sea level — a complete navigation readout that fits in your palm.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing the NEO-6M GPS module using UART serial communication with Arduino
- Parsing NMEA 0183 sentences to extract latitude, longitude, altitude, and fix quality
- Driving an I2C OLED display to refresh live text data without flicker
- Understanding how GPS satellites triangulate position and why a clear sky matters

Who This Kit Is For
ATL Tinkering Labs, CBSE Class 8–10 science students, and hobby clubs will love how this kit turns a abstract satellite concept into a tangible gadget. First-year B.Tech ECE/EEE students can use it as an embedded systems prototype, and it’s a perfect starter for Smart India Hackathon teams exploring location-based IoT ideas.
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 chat with our AI companion trained on this GPS tracker — it knows every wire and line of code. For deeper snags, message us on WhatsApp for a human engineer’s help within a few hours.
Can I use this kit indoors?
GPS signals pass through windows weakly. For a reliable satellite lock and accurate coordinates, take the assembled kit outdoors under open sky for a few minutes.
Do I need programming experience?
None. We provide pre-written Arduino code that you upload, and the AI companion explains how to tweak it if you want to add features like distance logging.
How accurate are the coordinates?
The NEO-6M typically fixes within 2.5 metres of your true position, and updates every second once it locks onto 4 or more satellites.
