The Pocket GPS

This project aims to create a compact GPS display that shows essential data, including latitude, longitude, speed, direction, and date & time. The GPS module is designed to be small and portable, powered by a 9V battery. The process involves connecting the GPS to a microcontroller, reading data via a serial port, parsing the information, and displaying it on an LCD. Testing will include comparisons with Google Maps, the car's speedometer, and the compass to ensure accuracy. Watch the demonstration [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIc00TjmlqA).
