THE DEVIL SUGGESTS
Build a GPS tracker
Create a tracker for your own bike, bag or project box and learn how location data is collected and displayed. Only track people or property with clear permission.
Do it
- Choose a GPS module and a device to read it.
- Check how the tracker will be powered.
- Test whether it can get a position outdoors.
- Save a few location readings with timestamps.
- Display the route or latest position on a simple map.
What next?
Keep the useful notes, photograph the result if there is one, then go and find something else to do.
