Abstract
GPS is an electronic circuit, which captures satellite signals and calculates current location. The GPS signals are transmitted to Ubuntu System, which will be the Base Station. The experiment uses Skytraq-96 GPS chip and ZigBee technology to transmit signals wireless. XGPS software installed at the Ubuntu laptop will calculate and display following informations - Latitude, Longitude of current location and satellite position at the Sky, when the experiment is conducted. The results are displayed graphically for Tumkur, where experiments are conducted.
