Build a Vehicle GPS Tracker Showing Coordinates, Speed, and Altitude on an LCD — Arduino Uno & NEO-6M 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.

Imagine mounting a display on your bicycle or car dashboard that shows live latitude, longitude, altitude, and speed — while a microSD card silently stores every reading with an accurate timestamp. This kit brings that to life. You'll wire the NEO-6M GPS module to an Arduino Uno, display real-time data on a 16x2 LCD, and log everything every 10 seconds using a DS3231 real-time clock. It's the perfect introduction to vehicle telematics, fleet tracking concepts, or simply learning how GPS receivers work.

What You'll Build

You'll construct a self-contained GPS data logger. Once assembled, the tracker reads satellite positions through the NEO-6M, parses the data, shows coordinates, altitude, and speed on the LCD, and writes a timestamped record to a microSD card. You can power it from a 9V battery and attach it to any moving vehicle — from a school project robot to a family car. The logged .CSV files open directly in Excel for route mapping and analysis.

What You'll Learn

• Interface the NEO-6M GPS module and parse real-time NMEA sentences
• Display live GPS coordinates, speed, and altitude on a 16x2 LCD via I2C backpack
• Log timestamped location data to a microSD card every 10 seconds
• Use the DS3231 RTC to maintain accurate date and time independent of the Arduino

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This intermediate-level kit is perfect for CBSE Class 11–12 students working on physics or computer science projects, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates building mini-projects for Smart India Hackathon or coursework, and ATL Tinkering Lab participants who want a real-world IoT application. It's also a favorite for hobbyists at IIT, NIT, VIT, and BITS campus workshops who need a reliable GPS data logger prototype in a single sitting.

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.
