GPS Raspberry Pi
Posted: Tue May 05, 2015 9:00 pm
I am planning on creating a gps tracker that displays the location on a map and shows movement(refreshes every 5-10 seconds)
The GPS data will be received over VHF transmission on the select frequencies (151,820 MHz, 151,880 MHz, 151,940 MHz, 154,570 MHz, 154,600 MHz).
I have a TFT screen for display.
My father is a hunter and uses dogs. He tracks them with a GPS collar.
He has a handheld device for this but it is difficult to hold, and look at the device while driving. The reason being that he runs the roads to protect the dogs from any danger when crossing highways and such.
If someone could give me an idea on how to receive the GPS data sent over VHF signals and put them into a GPS format with a map, also I want to add a GPS tracker in his vehicle so he also shows up on the display.
Any help with links/parts/or advice is greatly appreciated.
(I have looked through forums and online but couldn't find anything related to VHF receiving)
Thank you.
