[poll] Vehicle Tracking using GPS

do one thing.. do not parse data.. we can do parsing at server side. just send the RMC data to server thats it you do.

read and send to server. you need GPS data from $GPRMC to * only so read and send to server that much of data.

I went through some of the forum threads last night and i found certain comments that states a GSM modem would be sending a message to a particular mobile. If i want to have a live tracking in Open GTS I would be requiring a GPRS modem.Is it true or I can work with a GSM modem.In one of the IEEE papers i found out that we can use this one "Telit GM862-GPS GPS/GPRS" Its a GPS-GPRS module with EVK and antennas. So if i use this would i no longer be requiring a separate GSM modem and a GPS receiver.

GPS-GSM combo modules are not successful or say not efficient enough to work together. So its always better to use a GPS and a GSM module saperately.

regarding GPRS, i think most of GSM modems available in market and most commonly the SIM300 module/modem comes with inbuilt TCP/IP stack for GPRS communication. so you dont have to worry about anything. There are few set of commands that will take your data to server.

So i got to get started at least with AT commands for GSM modem. Where should i look for. Is there any good book available. Or is there any site or tutorial regarding it.Also if you might have some links which would allow me to get started o would be grateful if you help me in this regard

I have started doing AT commands. I read quite a few threads many say that they are/are not able to receive sms on its HYPER TERMINAL, What is a hyper terminal, I have no clue.
Also what is this that every one uses i proteus i am not aware of it.Below is the image

Hey Ajay, When i searched for some sample codes for interfacing GPS with a uC. i got the program but it is nither in asm nor c. rather it is in some format of extension *.BAS.pls go through it and let me know what is it

i have no idea why are you trying to find everything, online even the code? you know what GPS is going to give you, and you know what you want to send to server, so why there is a problem in just taking data from GPS and storing it in a buffer?

i think it would be better if you can try it on your own. you cannot simulate GPS as such in proteus. but if you are really keen to test it on proteus. use virtual terminal and feed GPS string manually. you can search for sample GPS messages.

and regarding modem, you first need to decide which modem are you going to use. so look for a modem in market, so you can move ahead faster. Try to avoid simulation as fast as you can and get your hands on real hardware.

hey ajay, you are getting me all wrong.
I was just surfing around and came across this code which wasnt familiar thats the reason why i posted it.Ill definitely do on my own.
Regarding what i asked earlier" I read quite a few threads many say that they are/are not able to receive sms on its HYPER TERMINAL, What is a hyper terminal, I have no clue"
Help me on this.
Also virtual terminal model is not there in proteus 7.6 how do i get it pls reply as i'm online now
