Techno Geeks – Bre Pettis and Joe Garland have posted a fun video/article on just how easy it is to build your own GPS using a few simple components. Now I somehow think there was a bit more done than what we see in the brief video, but it is fun to watch and if you have the winter geocaching blues it might be a good project. As they indicate schematics and code are available on the magazine website if you are so inclined.
The highlight of the video is of course the geocaching adventure that you take with them using the device. First time not so much luck so they decode the clue and eventually find the magnetic key holder after some banter about Les Miseables.
Check it out at NirvanaSoftware’s blog. The title is How To: LCD and GPS Localizer
