Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit v3
Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit v3 — Arduino GPS Data Logger with NEO-6M, SD Card, and LCD
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 an Arduino Uno into a portable vehicle tracker that records real-time location, speed, and altitude to a microSD card while displaying live telemetry on a crisp 16x2 LCD. Whether you're mapping a college campus shuttle route, analyzing a bike trip for a physics assignment, or prototyping a fleet monitoring concept for Smart India Hackathon, this kit gives you a self-contained data logging system that works right out of the box.
What You'll Build
A compact GPS logger that reads NEO-6M data over UART, parses latitude, longitude, speed, and altitude, stores timestamped entries on a 4GB microSD card, and updates the LCD with current coordinates and speed. Power it with a USB power bank, place it in a car or on a two-wheeler, and later import the CSV file into Google My Maps or Excel — you’ll have a full journey map, speed profile, and elevation graph ready for analysis.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing NEO-6M GPS with Arduino using UART and parsing NMEA sentences to extract location, speed, and altitude
- Writing sensor logs to an SD card with automatic file handling and formatting as comma-separated values for easy post-processing
- Driving a 16x2 LCD over I2C to show real-time data without consuming many GPIO pins
- Creating a complete embedded data logger that can be deployed in a moving vehicle for practical field experiments

Who This Kit Is For
Ideal for CBSE Class 11-12 students tackling physics or computer science projects that require real-world data acquisition, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building GPS-based vehicle tracking mini projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping mobile monitoring solutions, and ATL Tinkering Lab members aged 15-21 eager to combine embedded programming with data analysis. The step-by-step AI guide ensures you don't need prior GPS experience — only basic Arduino familiarity.
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 included in the kit to chat with the AI build companion, which provides wiring checks, code snippets, and debugging tips specific to this GPS tracker. You can also message us on WhatsApp for direct support.
Can this kit be used in a moving vehicle?
Absolutely. The NEO-6M module tracks position and speed continuously while in motion. Just secure the assembly and supply power from a USB power bank or a car’s 5V adapter — the data logs will accurately reflect your route, speed changes, and altitude variations.
What format does the logged data use, and can I view it on a map?
The microSD card stores data as a CSV file with columns for timestamp, latitude, longitude, speed, and altitude. We provide import instructions for Google My Maps, so you can instantly visualize your journey’s path, speed zones, and elevation profile.
Do I need soldering or special tools to assemble this kit?
No soldering is required. All connections use jumper wires and a breadboard — the kit’s components plug directly into the Arduino and each other, making assembly safe and reversible for classroom or lab use.
