Getting Arduino (RC Plane) GPS data into a CSV file for Google Maps

Paul contacted me for help in rigging up a method to save RC Plane GPS data from a U-blox neo-6m GPS Module to an SD card using and Arduino. I had already created most of the code when experimenting with the U-blox module but I just needed to get that data into a CSV format for Google Maps.

It turns out that 'Likes' and 'Shares' actually help the channel so, if you want to, please click the thumbs up or share the video.

If you want to get in contact Twitter is probably the best way @mrdavidjwatts

Great vid David! This will come in really handy for sure. I hadn't heard of that service. Cheers Sir

Great Video, thanks. I have it working on A Pro Mini and RobotDyn Micro SD card reader. I did have to change the baud rate to get meanfull read outs, though with this set up. It eventually worked at 19200. So anyone getting strange characters in the serial monitor try that. Also Google Fusion is no longer. I used the convert file option in GPSVisualizer.com. Paste the lat/long in two vertival columns with a heading above each column into the text field and convert to gpx file. Once converted there is a link below the readout box to open in Google Maps.
If you do see this David. I'm trying to figure out how to limit the copying to the data file to once every minute, say....can you help?

Hey david, this is a wonderful project. Is there a way to get the speed and altitude as well? I'm planning to build a small portable gps logger for homing pigeons..

Did anyone have any problems getting this to work on a arduino mega? It works perfectly with an UNO, but with the mega it just doesn't. I already tried to use a lvl shifter, already tried to use hardware serial, and nothing works. =/

David, when I tried your project and it did went well with success, however, it didn't work well on gpsvisualizer.
When I read like7, 023123.00, 31, 238765, -071, 321223 on my .txt from sd card and tried on gpsvisualizer, it refused to show, so I created some words on top of number on my .txt file by adding:
name, time, latitude, longitude
7, 023123.00, 31, 238765, -071, 321223
and press save. Just four word on notepad and click save. Presto, it worked on gpsvisualizer. and for better results just use "trackpoints". I hope this works for some of you guys. This projects helps me fighting againist boredom...

is there a chance you would have a diagram showing how you wired this up?
Im trying to see how you wired this up, along with your code, so I can tie it in with your "Arduino with: SIM800L GPRS GSM Module sending an SMS" video..
Essentially using the Neo6mv2 and the Sim 800L modules at the same time, on an Arduino Uno.

thanks again thanks for knowledge, love you nadeem saddiqui pakistan

Hey David, really appreciate the detail in this video, the example code works well and your replies to other questions will allow me to extract data of other variables, however, when I tried to use the Fusion table instructions I was greated with Google telling me that Fusion tables have been discontinued December 2019. Assuming I was following the correct links, and this product has been stopped, is there a way you can enlighten us lesser skilled Arduino users of another method that we can get the longitude & latitude into Google maps so we can plot our data? Many thanks in advance.

David, I was tweaking and made some improvements. I like to make a new modifications, how do I change from every two seconds to one minute of gps pinging time? What is the arduino code to print location every one minute? Thank you.

sir can u pls sent the link of the components available website..thanx

How can I reach google maps with voice control and arduino.Also how can I upload voice files to arduino?

[sonunigam]

how to send gps coordinate from gps module connected with arduino via nrf24l01 to another arduino . kindly help us

[pokemonfr]

David, thanks !!!
have a good time :D

My card SD doesn't work have you an idea where can be the problem??

[idanben-moshe]

Hi, great video,
Im using neo-6m ublok
all i get is zeroes, in my serial monitor.

i am not using an sd card so i removed that from your .ino
can you help me figure this out/? can i have your email?

thank you, have a nice day.

does the skylab gps module work on this code

[Nicolol]

man i am not getting anything only MLS part get incremented rest all are blank

[Wnzsz_]

Can share with me only the code i need it

[kai.v]

Can I add Alt and Speed to the Textfile?
