3. Project Description Setting up a Raspberry Pi 2 to function as a GPS
Using the GPS module for live navigation
Use a touchscreen for mouse-free input

4. Project Motivation
Using a Smartphone as a GPS drains the battery quickly as it’s used.
Dedicated GPS devices don’t usually have live traffic updates.
Dedicated GPS devices typically use a Subscription service which is costly.

5. Problem Statement
Is it possible to have a Raspberry Pi function as a GPS device?
Will a GPS Pi be as effective as or better than a dedicated GPS device?

6. Assumptions and Requirements
Know how to Solder
Assets to acquire parts for Raspberry Pi
Marginal knowledge of Linux command line
Ability to troubleshoot problems

7. Proposed Solution - Hardware
Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (Canakit)
Adafruit Ultimate GPS
Display Case
USB to TTL Serial Cable
1200mAh 3.7V Cell Battery
Adafruit PowerBoost 500
Official Raspberry Pi Foundation 7” Touchscreen LCD Display

8. Build Flowchart

9. Proposed Solution - Software
Raspbian OS
WinSCP
Transfers files from Windows to Pi using Telnet
GPSd
Monitors GPS devices for use with other software
Navit
Navigation software

10. Video

11. Results Able to accurately determine location after startup
Able to navigate
Direct power not required; Battery can power device

12. Conclusion
Android OS is no longer kept up to date for Pi and is essentially no longer supported
Pi can be used for other projects if desired
Other software for Navigation may exist in the future

13. Future Work
Add a hotspot so the Raspberry Pi can update whenever it wants.
Add a battery backup to the GPS so load times are quicker
Add an external antenna to the GPS so first-time location acquisition is quicker
