Design vehicle tracking device

[cve0x0]

I want to create an Arduino based vehicle tracking device which will be moved into a production board without Arduino later. Right now I have a few questions:

• What GPS module should I use for a best result (little time to fix from a cold start and high accuracy locations)? It will be good if support GLONASS. I want to detect when the car is turning (using HMC5983). I've bought Ublox NEO-6M GPS module and tested it into the car, but it cannot find a location.
• What MCU I should buy? I also want to communicate with OBD II port of vehicle over the CAN protocol (using MCP2551 + MCP2515). For now i choose ATMega328.
• How to power all elements ?

PS: Data from the vehicle and the GPS locations will be send over GPRS with SIM800l module.

Cheers :wink:

I have used mikroElektonika's Nano GPS Click for a project and it gets a fix within 1 sec. it doesn't need an external antenna. it is small.
