Hi genius,

my project is tracking vehicle position form remote .I planned to get lat,lang position from gps receiver and send through gprs.I'm gonna use sim300 gsm+gprs module.the problem is, at some places gprs connection is not constant. Due to tower problem.I'll not get position.
so, is there any way apart from using gsm?

Thanks in advance
 

Is your only problem a real-time positioning? If yes, then I think there are no radio networks with stable connection all the time. This cannot be solved.
Temporary connection losses you may overcome by track logging into onboard memory.
I think you might get some more problems due to GPS signal loss. In this case the way out is implementing an inertial navigation system (INS) on board.
The system design depends on its aids. If it is for trucks, you better log the track data. If you dont wand to loose track at all you should have INS, but if you want a total 24h7days tracking online, you should implement GPS + INS + VSAT though this is expensive.
Military GPS and phased antenna array is desirable.
