Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit with Arduino Uno: Display Real-Time Coordinates 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.
Imagine tracking your vehicle's exact position and altitude without relying on a smartphone. This kit lets you build a standalone GPS tracker that reads latitude, longitude, and altitude from satellites, then displays live coordinates and the number of connected satellites on a crisp OLED screen. It's a real, paid‑internship‑worthy project for students exploring embedded systems and navigation tech.
What You'll Build
You'll build a portable GPS tracker that updates position every second, shows altitude in meters, and indicates satellite count — all on a 0.96‑inch OLED. This can be fitted inside a car dashboard or carried in a backpack to log coordinates for outdoor trips. The circuit runs on a 9V battery, making it truly mobile.
What You'll Learn
- Read and parse NMEA sentences from a GPS module using Arduino
- Interface an I2C OLED display to show multiple data fields simultaneously
- Derive altitude and satellite lock strength from raw GPS data
- Wire a complete embedded system on a breadboard without soldering

Who This Kit Is For
Perfect for CBSE Class 11–12 students building a science exhibition project, B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates prototyping a vehicle tracker for Smart India Hackathon, or ATL Tinkering Lab mentors guiding a navigation unit build. It's also a strong addition for anyone preparing for IIT, NIT, VIT, or BITS practicals that involve sensor interfacing and IoT concepts.
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 the box to launch the AI companion that knows this exact kit. It offers real-time debugging, plus you can reach us on WhatsApp for personalised assistance.
Does this kit include a casing for mounting in a vehicle?
No, the kit provides all electronic components. You can easily 3D print or use any small project box to enclose the circuit for dashboard mounting.
How accurate is the NEO-6M GPS module?
Under clear open skies it provides 2.5‑metre horizontal accuracy and updates position every second. Tall buildings or dense foliage may reduce satellite count temporarily.
Can I log the GPS data to an SD card?
This kit focuses on live OLED display. You can extend it with an SD card module (not included) using the spare breadboard space — the AI companion includes hints for that upgrade.
Vehicle — NEO-6M GPS module reads latitude, longitude and altitude. OLED shows coordinates and satellite count.
