GPS Location SMS Sender Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Arduino GPS Location SMS Sender Kit – Press a Button, Send Your Location Instantly
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 pocket‑sized device that, at the press of a button, fetches your exact location and texts it as a clickable Google Maps link. This kit makes that real. Using an Arduino Uno, NEO‑6M GPS, and SIM800L GSM module, you’ll create a location sender perfect for two‑wheeler tracking, personal safety or a standout engineering project—no internet needed, just SMS.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a fully functional breadboard circuit: press the tactile button, the Arduino reads the GPS coordinates, lights an LED to show it’s searching for a fix, then sends an SMS to a pre‑programmed number with a Google Maps link like “https://maps.google.com/?q=12.9716,77.5946”. The recipient clicks and sees the location on a map instantly. Power it through a DC adapter and the included buck converter handles the SIM800L’s high current demands.
What You'll Learn
- How to interface the NEO‑6M GPS module with Arduino and parse NMEA sentences to extract latitude and longitude.
- How to control a SIM800L GSM module using AT commands to send SMS programmatically.
- Proper power supply design: using a buck converter and large electrolytic capacitors to manage the GSM module’s 2A current peaks.
- Debouncing a tactile switch and orchestrating a multi‑step sequence—GPS fix, SMS transmission, and confirmation LED.

Who This Kit Is For
This intermediate kit is built for Indian students and hobbyists moving beyond blinking LEDs. If you’re a CBSE Class 11–12 student seeking a physics or computer science project, a B.Tech ECE/EEE participant in the Smart India Hackathon, or a maker at an ATL Tinkering Lab, this kit delivers a complete working system without the frustration of mismatched components. It’s also ideal for anyone wanting a simple, button‑triggered tracker for their bike or scooter.
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 your kit box to start chatting with the AI companion trained on this GPS‑SMS project. It guides wiring, code debugging, and sequence logic. For extra help, reach out via WhatsApp.
Does the kit include a SIM card or data plan?
No, you’ll need an active 2G SIM with SMS balance (Airtel, BSNL, Jio 2G). The SIM800L only sends an SMS, so no data is required.
Can I use this to track my vehicle continuously?
This design sends location on button press. It’s perfect for on‑demand updates. For real‑time streaming, you would need a module with GPRS data capability—but this kit nails the core SMS notification concept.
What if the GPS doesn’t get a fix indoors?
Place the circuit near a window or outdoors. The NEO‑6M can take up to two minutes for a cold start; its on‑board LED blinks when a fix is obtained, so you’ll know when coordinates are ready.
NEO-6M GPS + SIM800L GSM sends current location as Google Maps link via SMS on button press.
