GPS Vehicle Tracking System

Hi All.
I am planning to make a project on veh tracking system based on GPS
data.
As i understand
1. i need to pick up latitude and longitude data from the GPS.
2. store it temporarily.
3. transmit it to a base station.
4. receeive the location dat at the base station.
5. Use GIS platform to read this location dat and plot it.

i am just starting over it and have no idea of how to do all these.
please can you help me.
1. i want to know which GPS to use.
2. how to extract the data. can i use a microcontroller for this.
3. how to transmit the data.
4. Which GIS platform to use.
5. How to feed it the data.
6. How to plot the dat on screen.

need a lot of guidance

You can also try www.google.com and search for:

gps vehicle tracking system.

I found 2+ million hits. Of course that is mostly for buying existing
systems. The Amateur Radio people also have an internet tracking system
and you can get lots of the technical info you want through that route.
You could start here for that:

www.satamatics.com - the terminals/service that are available using
their inmarsat D+ satcom service provide nearly global asset tracking
(polar regions excepted) using embedded GPS receivers in the
terminals. The position reports are available from a web server and
can be displayed on your mapping app or Google Earth.

any GPSR will do - but there are devices available which also sends the
data to the base


Standard for GPS data is NMEA (serial)


depends on the region. GPRS, SMS via GSM, Iridium, Ham radio . . .


you can use any platform


parse from the data input


you can use any GIS system or use GoogleMaps or GoogleEarth
