Position Tracking: The GPS module retrieves the current location coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the device.
Data Transmission: The GSM module sends location updates to a designated mobile number or a web server at specified intervals.
User Interaction: Users can press a button to request a status update or trigger an alert.
Status Indication: LED indicators can show the status of the device (e.g., powering on, transmitting data, etc.).
Power Management: Use a battery pack to ensure portability, with an option for solar charging for extended outdoor tracking sessions.
Software Development:
Develop an Arduino sketch to interface with the GPS and GSM modules.
Use libraries like TinyGSM for GSM communication and TinyGPS++ for processing GPS data.
Implement functions to handle location data and transmit it via SMS or Internet, including error handling for GPS signal loss.
Mobile App/Web Dashboard (optional):
Develop a mobile app or web dashboard to visualize the tracked data on a map. Integrate APIs like Google Maps for real-time tracking visualization, enabling users to monitor their assets easily.
