Would it be possible to send real time GPS data using bluetooth to a web server?

Hi everyone,

I've never used the Arduino Board before but I'm going to be buying the ARDUINO UNO REV3 and the HC-05 bluetooth module with the plan to get real time GPS data using bluetooth, and then sending this data to a web server to potentially be stored in a database and shown on a map.

I was wondering if this was possible? Can it be achieved without a GSM?

Many thanks

Bluetooth is very short range. Typically 10ft. You would need another Bluetooth device within that range which is also connected to the internet and has an app that knows which server you want.

Could that other device be a phone or laptop?

Where is this GPS data coming from? (did I miss something?)

You can use the Arduino/BT module combo to send data to a PHONE (if its within the the limited area)..

but form that point.. how do you expect it get to a 'webserver'?

The phone app that collects this BT data being sent from the Arduino.. could possibly be configured to then make a call to some URL that has a (for example) a PHP script waiting to handle this data, and then insert this into a database..
