Abstract
GPS has become a common household item for various purposes, the most obvious one being navigation. It is also used for other purposes and leisurely activities such as running, biking, skating, skiing and even swimming. This project uses a GPS receiver to output co-ordinates to a microcontroller kit that has an on-board LCD display, EEPROM, temperature/light/voltage sensors and USART ports for serial communication. A GSM mobile phone is used to transmit the GPS co-ordinates to a remote GSM receiver. The objective of this project is to create a system where we can use the GPS to transmit our location to a default or preferred source whenever the necessity occurs.
