Help me with this GPS project !

A] The main aim is to monitor multiple vehicle movements and their locations with the help of GPS, from a centralized place.

B] At last the retrieved co-ordinates from these devices, must be ported to google maps in real time.

Can you give some tips on how this project can be implemented ?

Use a GSM/GPS module like those made by Telit

Leon

or buy the cheap GSM/GPS vehicle trackers coming from china?

I am just a starter!!! Want to learn more on this !!

Could you please tell me how it can be implemented ?

The easiest way to go about it is to buy a Telit GM862 board from SFE, interface it to a suitable MCU, and write the software. You can then miniaturise it with a GE-863.

Are there any helpful tutorials to help me out and to learn the basics on doing this ?

Thank you for your reply ! Leon

Just read the Telit documentation, it’s all in there. You are in for a lot of work, though.

Thank you Leon!

Or for around $100 you could buy a ready to go chinese unit.

Depends on if you want to just get a job done or the experience (and cost) of doing it yourself.
