Vehicle GPS Tracker Plus Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Arduino Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit – See Live Coordinates on an OLED Display
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Picture a pocket-sized device that tells you exactly where you are – latitude, longitude, altitude, and even how many satellites are watching overhead. With this kit, you’ll wire up an Arduino Uno, a NEO-6M GPS module, and a tiny OLED screen to create your own vehicle location tracker. It’s a hands-on introduction to satellite communication that fits into a car dashboard, a school science project, or a curious maker’s afternoon.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a standalone GPS receiver that constantly reads signals from orbiting satellites and prints the decoded data onto a crisp 0.96-inch OLED. The display shows real-time latitude, longitude, altitude above sea level, and the number of satellites in view. Power it from a 9V battery and the tracker becomes fully portable – perfect for tracking a bicycle, scooter, or even a school project model vehicle.
What You'll Learn
- Connecting a GPS module to an Arduino using serial communication (UART)
- Decoding NMEA sentences to extract latitude, longitude, and altitude
- Driving a monochrome OLED display via I2C
- Building a real-world satellite data monitoring system on a breadboard

Who This Kit Is For
Students aged 5-15 can assemble this under adult supervision – it’s an ideal first electronics project for CBSE Class 11-12 curious about embedded systems, ATL Tinkering Lab members exploring satellite tech, or B.Tech ECE/EEE freshers wanting a quick win. Even Smart India Hackathon participants will find it useful as a standalone GPS data logger before integrating into larger vehicle tracking solutions.
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 in the box to chat with the AI companion trained on this exact circuit. You can also reach us on WhatsApp – we’ll get you unstuck fast.
Does this kit show vehicle location on a phone app?
No, this kit displays coordinates directly on the included OLED. For live phone tracking, you’d need an additional GSM or Wi‑Fi module to send data to the cloud.
Do I need to know how to solder?
Absolutely not. Everything plugs into the breadboard – no soldering, no hot tools. Even the OLED and GPS module use jumper wires.
Can the tracker work indoors?
GPS signals rarely penetrate roofs. For best results, place the kit near a window or outdoors. Once you have a clear sky view, the satellite lock is quick.
