Let see how to integrate GPS Neo6M to Raspberry Pi
GPS module: It works on the basis of satellites that help us detect geo areas, and time information to the person using the GPS module. NEO-6M GPS module is shown in Fig. It gives the best possible positioning information and includes a larger built-in 25x25mm active GPS antenna with a UART TTL socket.
I assume that you would know how to connect the Neo6M to Pi and in this article let’s explore how get the GPS co-ordinates
sudo raspi-config->Interfacing Options->Serial->Serial login shell disable,Serial interface enabled
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients
cat /dev/serial0
sudo adduser pi dialout
sudo systemctl stop gpsd.socket
sudo systemctl disable gpsd.socket
sudo gpsd /dev/serial0 -F /var/run/gpsd.sock
sudo gpsmon
sudo cgps -s
If you are getting an error while running gpsmon try
sudo systemctl stop serial-getty@serial0.service
Note:
1) Depending on the GPS module it might take time, i had to move this module antenna outside the window to get this working
2) The accuracy of the co-ordinates has to be verified with a better GPS module
3) There are other modules available suitable for your needs with if this device did not fit the bill use an another device of your choice
Some of the tools that i used is that i have updated in the reference section
