GPS shield for Arduino kit with data-logging capability. After building this easy kit, you can create your own geo-locative project.Please note that this shield does not come with a GPS module, they are sold separately(see below)

This shield is designed to make GPS projects straight-forward and easy. Plug in a supported GPS module and run any of the example Arduino sketches forparsing GPS data (NMEA sentences),logging to a FAT16-formatted SD flash memory cardand storing analog sensor data along with precise location, date and time in CSV format.

The shield is designed specifically for use with theEM-406a module: the small surface-mount GPS connector is pre-soldered for you. (It is a high-quality engine with quick time-to-fix and excellent reception, even in downtown New York City!) It can also be used with a Tyco A1035D, EB-85A or Lassen IQ module.

GPS module,Arduino, and SD memory card are not included.Please check the parts listto see what is included. Please note that the library israther bulky, requiring 12K of flash and more than 1/2 K of RAM for buffering SD card memory blocks. The examples work fine on ATmega168-based Arduino (or compatible) but for more complex projects I strongly recommendupgrading to an ATmega328

Run-time is approximately 3 hours with a 9V battery and up to 12 hours using aMintyBoost, assuming no power-saving features are enabled.
