Location tracking is important when you want to find the exact location of movable objects, such as vehicles, pets, or even people. GPS technology is very helpful in getting precise locations, which makes it possible to create real-time tracking devices.
In this chapter you will learn:
- How to connect the Arduino GPS shield with the Arduino Ethernet board
- How to install and use TinyGPSPlus library with the Arduino Ethernet board
- How to extract location data and time with Arduino GPS shield in conjunction with TinyGPSPlus library
- About Google Maps JavaScript API that displays the current location on Google Maps with GPS data
- How to get GPS location data by SMS with Twilio and Temboo
