In this video, we will be learning how to add a GPS receiver module to an Arduino. We will be taking a look at how GPS works, and how to wire up and code your project to get coordinates, as a final step, we will be making a short and sweet GPS project - a small device that tracks a target location and uses our current location to display the distance and direction to that target, allowing you to navigate there from anywhere on the surface of the earth.
