LoRa GPS Tracker Project with Google Maps - Arduino ESP8266 RYLR406

In this video, you will learn how to create a GPS Tracker using a LoRa module with an impressive range of 15 kilometers. The best part is that it doesn't require an internet connection or a GSM network, allowing you to use it anywhere. The project consists of two devices: the Transmitter and the Receiver. The Transmitter, powered by an Arduino Nano, sends GPS coordinates to the Receiver using a Long Range RYLR 4.6 LoRa module. The Receiver, equipped with a NodeMCU and connected to an Android phone, receives the GPS data and displays it in real-time on Google Maps using the Arduino ESP32 GPS Map app. The video provides wiring diagrams and code explanations for both devices. Join us as we guide you through the step-by-step process of building this GPS Tracker, offering precision and reliability for tracking objects within a range of 10 to 15 kilometers. Get ready to enhance your tracking capabilities with this exciting project.

How are the Rx’ed GPS coordinates passed to the Android device?

[RKGGAMING-zv]

can we use nrf24Lo1 transceiver instead of lora?

[Bomberpatrizi]

Good morning, beautiful project, do you think it would be possible to see the information on a compass-type OLED without having to connect a phone?

[wishmaster-productions]

HI, I like your project. I have 3 questions: can u use the receiver as a transmitter? second: how many receivers/transmitters can you have connected at the same time? and three: can the nodeMCU use bluetooth to make it a wireless connection between the phone and receiver/transmitter?

You see I am looking for a lora system that creates a mesh network and gives the location of all the trackers through bluetooth on google maps, and every tracker should be able to see the other trackers on their own phone. is this possible with the node MCU only?

Hello ahmed, what if I want to make a lost and found tag, can I use buzzer and led blinking in this

[VivekKanwar-ywiu]

Hi Ahmad, Thanks for sharing this great work. I have tried to worked with the same devices but it is not working. The code you have shared in GitHub is different from the video description. Can you please clear this doubt of which pin we need to connect with GPS and LoRa?

[GTTRFUNKN]

Use it as a long range short message or communicator.

Hello friend, I want to congratulate you on your brilliant idea. I would like to know if it is possible to make a tracker for a car/motorcycle using LORAWAN. I thought about the following: Since Lorawan doesn't lose signal with jammers, this would make it difficult for someone with a jammer to cut the GPS signal, right?

Hi & thank you for this amazing video. How accurate is the position data? Meters? Centimeters?

[ShahidPasha-zv]

By using which software did you draw the circuit diagram?

[AkorJohnOmaaka]

can you help to make a video on automatic railway crossing using gps and gsm technology and monitoring the realtime location tracking on a GUI, Thanks

[dragon-cucc]

Hello
lora module I'm waiting for more videos
thanks

[josejuliananguianoserrato]

@Ahmad Logs Hello Ahmad thanks, I have a doubt Why the pin 8 is physical connected but in the program RX 4 is programmed? Could you give me a little explain, thanks

[dragon-cucc]

Hello
Receiver Can you add a warning alarm buzzer and mz80 infrared sensor when the location changes?
transmitter buzzer alert?
Can you add 2 relay outputs, connection notification LED, 7 segment display TM1637 speedometer?😊😊😮😅😢

[raffaeleprincipi]

Hi, I created your project but it doesn't work. There are defects in the connection diagram

[markneiltanap]

ser what if i want to show it on website an see it in live in website that it is tracking?
how to do so?

[zoomboom]

Can I send the data from receiver to the phone via BT/Wi-Fi?

[johnstarr]

Great Video! Is there a way to make a .kmz file with the data?

[rubenmocan]

Can you do it to wotk on the Helium LoRa Network ?

[zeesh]

did you calculate what could be the battery time with such solution if running continuously on one charge?
