An electronic board with GPS and GPRS

Hello Folks,

I am a software developer and a total newbie to electronics. I want to design an electronic board( or use an existing board) where i can use gps and gprs facility.

The purpose of this board is to send the gps coordinates of the device to a remote server via gprs on press of a button.

The board has to be reasonably small (a bit smaller than a current mobile device), since it has to be wearable and should be portable. Are there any boards that are readily available with these features??

If not, which board would you recommend to add the gps and gprs? (Which would fit the size i mentioned)

Try SIM908 Module. It is GPRS cum GPS module.

No ready made Kit for this project. you should design PCB with your Ideas.

hi
https://wm.sim.com/producten.aspx?id=1024，this page will help you,sim908 is a very powerful module, support GSM/GPRS/GPS,
It is compatible with the AT command.
Thanks

hi libin
i am working on a project ,i think it is very similar with your goal
i want to send some datas from gprs modem to a web page via post method in http protocol

i think its better to divide this to some steps:

in first steps: we must choose a platform,gprs&gps module,mcu type& compiler/IDE.
my choise is stm32f103(32bit arm cortex low cost mcu),sim908,keil

in step 2:its better to buy a minimum board for gprs modem & mcu to saving time(at least we can design our pcb for redusing size & customizing it )

in step3: we must collect location coordinates (its not common between us,i dont need location coordinates i only need datas recieved from sencor )

in step 4: we must send datas(location coordinates or sencors amount) to the server,it can be done with http protocol
via post method(module support completely from http)

in step 5: we must design a simple web page for displaying incoming datas

in step 6:when we receive datas successfully we can improve web pages with processing datas,saving & loading
or even display location with google map API

in last step: we must design a good small pcb for it

its interesting im electronic student and new bie to web programming : )
if you agree i will do electronic section (pcb designing and mcu programming) and you design and program server side (web page )
with best regard
