Vehicle GPS Tracker Pro Kit with Arduino Nano + LED
Pro Vehicle GPS Tracker Kit with Arduino Nano – Real-Time Geofence SMS Alerts
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Transform your vehicle into a connected security system that silently watches over its location. Build a GPS tracker that sends an instant SMS alert when your car, bike, or fleet vehicle crosses a preset radius—no monthly subscription, no third-party servers. This advanced Arduino-powered kit puts you in control of geofence boundaries and alert logic, giving you unmatched ownership over vehicle security.
What You'll Build
A fully functional GPS tracking device with a crisp OLED display, capable of monitoring real-time coordinates and triggering SMS alerts when the vehicle moves beyond a user-defined perimeter. The system stores boundary coordinates in EEPROM and runs autonomously on a rechargeable LiPo battery, all housed in a rugged waterproof enclosure for on-road durability. You’ll end up with a professional-grade tracker worthy of fleet deployment or personal theft deterrence.
What You'll Learn
- Interfacing NEO-6M GPS and SIM800L GSM modules with Arduino Nano for synchronous data flow
- Programming geofence logic using the Haversine formula to calculate distance from a fixed point
- Designing a reliable power supply with LM2596 buck converter, LiPo charging, and decoupling capacitors
- Soldering and assembling a compact, vehicle-ready prototype on PCB board, including display mounting

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is designed for engineering graduates working on IoT-based vehicle security projects, embedded systems hobbyists prototyping fleet telematics, and Smart India Hackathon teams tackling transportation challenges. Ideal for final-year B.Tech students in ECE/EEE/CS at IITs, NITs, VIT, and BITS Pilani, as well as auto workshops and entrepreneurs implementing custom tracking solutions for two-wheelers and commercial fleets.
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 an AI companion that knows every solder joint and code line for this tracker. You can also reach our support team on WhatsApp for human help if needed.
Can this tracker work without a SIM card?
No, the SIM800L module requires an active 2G SIM card to send SMS alerts. As of 2025, India still has widespread 2G coverage from Airtel and Vodafone Idea, making it perfectly viable in most locations.
How long does the battery last when tracking?
With the 2000mAh LiPo and intelligent power management code, the tracker can run for 12–16 hours on a single charge. You can also connect the buck converter to the vehicle’s 12V system for continuous operation while driving.
Can I customize the geofence radius?
Absolutely. The source code includes a simple variable to set the radius in metres. You can also modify it to accept new boundaries via SMS commands, giving you dynamic control from your mobile phone.
Vehicle — NEO-6M GPS monitors vehicle position. SIM800L sends SMS when vehicle leaves defined boundary radius.
