I want to make GPS Tracking system. like where is my car what is its position a. like a GPS monitering system.goyal420Can you ellaborate? what are your intentions?
May be i could be of any help, because i have worked on same kind of Project 😀

The general purpose items would be - a micro controller, GPS receiver, GSM module, and a SIM card.Scorpion007Hi want to build a GPS Tracking system For my Car. It is My project . I want to build it with general purpose items .
@scorpion007-Mj7x2o • Dec 3, 2012
ok . then what the nextAbraKaDabraThe general purpose items would be - a micro controller, GPS receiver, GSM module, and a SIM card.
What say?

goyal420I will provide you an easiest way ,
You can do following, have a Mobile device attached to your car that must have gps enabled, now you can create a app may be for android , iphone use phone gap framework , it requires no coding , just basic html and javascript, phonegap will provide you its own methods through which you can access long, lat of your device, simply put those on your web server using ajax request at frequent intervals , then create a web interface that will map those on google maps, and update its location after every 10 sec, this way you can have a easy gps tracking system for your car 😀

I think it is not good idea because I have to put co-ordinate manually and as project point of view it cant score good. any hows thanks for replying and suggestion.😀

there are many types of GPS devises used to track vehicle .Mainly many Transport agencies and government agencies using it. But then what the need to build just go and buy. but my requirement is to make that type of system for college project. thanksgoyal420I have to put co-ordinate manually
What do you mean by manually?
It is automated Process, I could even give you another way, that i thought it might be out of your budget
I remember when i was working on this project for my client , though I was only working on web interface for that, but they told me , that they are using xirgo devices that you can integrate with your system and will send you all the necessary information that you can store on server and display them to your user

Thanks sirashHi scorpio, I'd suggest that you start off with Arduino as your microcontroller module. You can easily link it with other modules that AKD suggested like GPS & GSM and focus on the programming the below:
- Initiate GPS & acquire lat/long
- Arduino to parse GPS strings
- Send out data via GSM or GPRS
- some sort of web interface to show data (as goyal suggested)
