Make: Online : AVR based GPS tracker...

AVR based GPS tracker...

Make 1015
Here's a neat AVR - GPS - cell phone tracker project...

This project is about GPS tracing. it works as follows:
- GPS traces the position of the device via satelite
- Somebody (who wants to know the position) calls the number of the GSM-Module
- The Microcontroller noticed the call and ask the position which is stored in a global var
- The Microcontroller sends a command to the GSM-Module to send a SMS with position information back to the caller.
