Has anyone here made a handheld gps with waypoint input and some sort of tracking map. I have a cyd display with the gps module, i can only get so far. Just wondering if anyone has made one or something similar.
Duckduckgo says this: To create a waypoint navigation system using Arduino and GPS, you can use a GPS module like the GY-NEO6MV2 along with a compass for direction. You will need to program the Arduino to record GPS coordinates as waypoints and navigate to them using motor controls.
Yeah i dont have a compass module. I can get the current coordinates and even input a waypoint, but unsure how to get from one to another.
That makes two of us. I have no clue as to what is in your toolbox or what your skill set is.
Skillset is slightly above novice. Lol. I was just seeing if anyone had any ideas
What do you want to do that you can't do by writing a GPS Android app that runs on a cheap phone or tablet?

A code for using a GPS to tell you the distance and direction from you current location to some waypoint location is simple enough.
However, did you find any projects or tutorials for downloading maps and saving them for display on an Arduino TFT type display ?
Sounds more like a project for a Raspberry Pi ..........
