I've been in the IT field or ver 30 years and had never seen someone take the time to explain code in such line-by line detail, let alone for free, let alone for an audience of perfect strangers. We are all indebted deeply to you. Subscribed, of course. Many, many thanks for posting this most interesting project.

Seven years later and still a great tutorial. Thank you.

Found this video today. Excellent material, the only sketch that actually works with the OLED and the GPS! Thanks for sharing.

I love how your white board drawing and the real thing are literally damn near about as simple. Brilliant selection of hardware and implementation good sir!

Hi. Have only just discovered you channel. Marvellous stuff.
This project may be a few years old now, but still very relevant.

Thanks a lot for your hard work.

[rickpercy]

Thanks for taking the time to go through the code so clearly and thoroughly. Along with the block diagram this has made a relatively complex project easy to understand.

Stopped by to say thank you, followed your instructions, devices are on a breadboard and working, thank you for your videos and help they give.

That half hour went by quickly. Very interesting project.

I especially appreciate your line-by-line description of the code.

The time you take to fully explain module connections makes this fairly simple to replicate.

Very well done and professional.

Thank You. I just subscribed (and Liked of course).

[AmericanMaking]

Just found you. Great Tutorials. You deserve a lot more views.

[BYA]

Thank you for explaining not only the build out, but the sketch as well. For this noob it was much appreciated!!!

Terrific video. Well organized and thoughtfully designed.
I like the fact that you go through your code and explain the processes as they occur.

[RCTurbine]

Wow, one of the best presentations I have seen on YouTube. Thanks so much!

[ImnotChuck.]

Although I subbed a Nano for the Pro-mini, and used a different GPS module, your code still ran perfectly (after I changed the OLED config in the library.) Thanks for a detailed, accurate, description. My next step is to add APRS capability and connect to my VHF radio.

[saulhunton]

just completed this project with great success!! thank you good sir!

[OffroadMXbohemia]

Hello, is there any posibility show the coordinates in other formats, like UTM? I need MGRS (similar to UTM)

[Newsparklabs]

Another great project and video from Scullcom Hobby Electronics! I like that little OLED.

[ron]

That was, without doubt, the best arduino tutorial i have ever watched!!!
Thank you for taking the time to put that to video!

Reply to PIRATEMAN comments:
For some reason You Tube will not allow replies to any of your comments. Could it be due to the fact that they are "Linked Comment" not sure why.
Anyway thanks for your comments. With regards your question on FPGA's - I have not had much time to play with them as yet.

One minor detail you omitted is that you need to verify that the Adafruit_SSD1306.h library is set to a 128x64 display.  The default in the version I downloaded was 128x32 which really screwed up the display.  Other than that a nice little GPS project!

[jeremyhall]

Thank you for this video. I've just started watching your videos and like the format. I will give this one a try I think as it will be a great project to build with my son who is just starting to delve into electronics at age 12. He will love it!
