breadcrumbs - GPS tracker using EEPROM

Hi Folks,

I'd appreciate some feedback for my Arduino/GPS project - breadcurmbs. I've created an application that can store a useful amount of GPS tracking data to the 512 byte EEPROM storage. By only storing scaled heading data and making a record only after a set distance has been traversed, breadcrumbs can store several kilometers of GPS tracking information. Furthermore, once the journey has been completed breadcrumbs can replay the journey directly to KML. The KML data is written to the Arduino's serial port where (once saved to file) it can be viewed by Google Earth.

Here's a link with more information/source code:

I'd be particularly interested if you think the project would be worthy of a link in the GPS section of the Ardunio playground (Wiki).

arduino and a gps and geocoding is in the make things talk book the sample code can be downloaded free. And the book can be bought used from amazon. or interlibrary loaned. :stuck_out_tongue: the book is great it shows hardware arduino processing and the wireing language php geocoding raido stuff etc.

But it's not so great if you look at the explanation of how GPS actually works. This is totally wrong, it does not work through signal strength like it says but on timing how long it takes for a signal to get from the satellite to the receiver.

Breadcrums - Good work thanks.
