Getting started with the Gps/ GPS Module GN-801

we’re going to look at how GPS can show us longitude and latitude coordinate of our current locations.

 Hardware required

• Arduino uno
• GPS Module GN-801

 Connecting the Hardware

To connect your GPS module to Arduino, use a +5V from the power side of the Arduino and any ground pin. Any two pins will work for the serial communication.

• Connect Arduino pin Tx to the RX pin of the GPS Module.
• Connect Arduino pin Rx to the TX pin of the GPS Module.

Installing a library: TinyGPS++

before uploading the sample sketch you need to have the TinyGPS++  library if not download it TinyGPSPlus0.95a 

install the library by extracting that zipped file in the library folder  as shown below

     Upload the sample sketch

 

#include <TinyGPS++.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

static const uint32_t GPSBaud = 9600;

TinyGPSPlus gps;
float Long,Lat;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // put your setup code here, to run once:

}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
get_gps_data();
}
void get_gps_data(){
while (Serial.available() > 0){
gps.encode(Serial.read());
if (gps.location.isUpdated()){
Lat=gps.location.lat();
Long=gps.location.lng();
Serial.println(gps.location.lat());
Serial.println(gps.location.lng());}}}

Before to upload the program , Tx and Rx of arduino and GPS must be disconnected then Upload the program and open up the serial monitor from the Arduino IDE. Remember to select 9600 baud. you can now see the coordinates (Longitude ,Latitude) of the place you are.
