Please I have never worked with GPS before.What are the things I will need.I just want to be getting location data from a mobile device.I can programe PIC microcontroller.Thanks :?:
By mobile device, do you mean a phone?
By mobile device I mean GPS module.
Try the Sparkfun buying guide:
Typical GPS units will send “NMEA Sentences” (google that term) once every second, different sentences will contain some combination of GPS status, time, latitude/longitude, altitude, speed, direction.
They communicate over plain UART serial, typically at 4800 baud but commonly adjustable to any standard baud rate (hyperterm in windows will show the output).
You have to decode the sentences - actually less decode, than pick out the bits you want and maybe convert units.
