Hey guys
I bought this nifty little gadget that can send you the COORDINATES throgh SMS but theres a slight issue. I get the coordinates fine, the issue is how do I read them ?
I'm getting them in this format:
Latitude = 22 19 55.33N Longitude = 114 09 36.54E Speed = 0.00 Km/h

PLS HELP!

Hi, these are the longitude and latitude reading of location just copy past them in this formate to google earth
22 19 55.33N 114 09 36.54E
and you will get the location. the aboce given cordinated that you have given are of some location near hongkong.

well to make one you need a GPS and GSM modem.. Connected serially with a microcontroller and you have to code that microcontroller ( the circuit will must be having some extra electronics components too like capacitors and resistors )
its a long story whitout the prior knowledge of electronics and programming you cant make one..
You can start engine, stop engine, get the location, lock the car, start ac / heater JUST BY A SIGLE SMS

Like if you are in ur office in summer and cant bare the heat of ya car u can start the car about 10 to 15 mints before leaving the office just via an sms or a call

Can you elaborate more on how it starts the heater/ac? Does it physically control the temp control knob and the ac button (off/on)? Or are you referring to the user just leaving the car setting where they'd prefer it and just remote starting the car?

Either way props to you on your diy tracker build. You might want to consider a patent if it hasn't done so already at the very least.
Then you could concentrate on making it much more compact and selling them. Once you get going it shouldn't be hard to mass produce and be making millions of dollars.

You'd be surprised on how the smallest and simplest of ideas can make you more money than you can imagine.

Good luck brother!
