How GPS Phones Work

How It Works / Ibrar Ayyub

Cell Phone Basics A cell phone is basically a sophisticated two-way radio. Towers and base stations, arranged into a network of cells, send and receive radio signals. Cell phones contain low-power transmitters that let them communicate with the nearest tower. As you travel, you move from one cell to another, and the base stations monitor

GPS to SD card data logger and compass

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Earlier this year I have bought on the flea market a used car GPS system, an Amstrad gp1000. (Un)fortunately it was so badly damaged, that it could not be repaired, so I thought I would reuse some parts from it. Then came the idea of building a portable GPS logger system. The receiver runs perfectly
