Can you make a GPS like this yourself? Anonymous Mon Apr 15 09:52:44 2019 No.1593383 [Reply] [Original]

I mean this style that goes under cars.
The way it works is, it logs its location via GPS, every <insert time interval here> and stores that data on a hard drive.
After you retrieve the device and plug the hard drive in the computer you get the list of all locations logged.
The entire device is in a plastic box, that connects to the undersize of a car via strong magnet.
Can you make one yourself?

You can buy countless gps units that output serial data. You do not need a raspi or sbc to interface with it, a microcontroller can write to sd card without usb required, also GREATLY reduce power consumption.
Under a car is the ideal place for gps, other than on the roof. Maybe just don't put it right in the middle and try to keep away from exhaust or anything moving.
But signal is better reflected from the road than inside the cabin generally...

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 15 12:31:31 2019 No.1593485 >>1593424 Its just going to degrade in accuracy but it will fix mostly, the neo6mv2 I have works inside a building, just with terrible (~40m) accuracy. If you literally would like to have that thing under a car, well, it will fix.

OP, you are obviously severely retarded and do not posses the capacity to construct the device in question.

Otherwise it's trivial and there are many similar hobby projects online, especially for APRS.
