I'm willing to do a project for vehicle tracking using GPS & GSM Modem via a Microcontroller.


I'm still gathering information about that and the problem is


On what basics can I choose the GSM Modem, GPS Receiver & Microcontroller types that are needed only for my requirements ?


All what I need to do is to get the data from GPS Receiver by the Microcontroller and send it to a Mobile phone using the GSM Modem.


Would u recommend certain models which meet my requirements?


Also, I need a guide to know how to start and proceed in the project
Do u recommend certain articles or so that I should read to start effectively

    Probably the main concern would be the interfaces. You can get UART based GPS modules that you can connect to the microcontroller, such as the common PIC based ones. Sparkfun.com has a couple of GPS modules that sells from $50 onwards.

    Instead of a standalone GSM modem, you can try find a 2nd hand Nokia 3310. It has a serial connection you can use. Its a much cheaper alternative.
