It blinks when i power on device and then Monitor LED is lightning for a few seconds and then Monitor LED is Off and the GM862GPS is powered on. When a LED is Off, what it means? Can you give me the Monitor LED Statuses.

I provided PIN and phone number to send SMS. Maybe it relates to My SIM's supported services. It is not supported SMS to E-mail service. Please help me to finish this project successfully.

I provided the PIN for my SIM. But I just set the number of the SMS-to-Email gateway by my number. Is it possible to send SMS if there is no SMS to E-Mail service gateway number???. * Compiled it with WinAVR. * Programmed my device. * Attached my terminal to the device and I can't see the menu, I can't connect device to my PC, I use FTDI chip converter. Help me how to solve these 2 things!!! 1 is inquiry that is it possible to send SMS to my phone number instead of special SMS to E-Mail service supported phone number? 2 is how to connect the device to my PC? what program can I use to do this issue? (Hyper terminal? or something like that?) Help drop me a Message. Best regards, Ideree. Hi Alex,

And I saw your blog. This is a newbee question but to receive the location of the device you need a gsm module and sim card right? I am working on how to call the device and find if from a different location. I have not read all of ur but dose urs do that? if so can u give me some hints? Hi Alex,

You could even optimise it to send a new SMS only if the position has changes. BTW, if the SMS costs too much, you can switch to the GPRS option. That would require a GPRS data plan, but that may be cheaper than sending multiple SMS. http://tinkerlog.com/2007/09/23/using-twitter-and-twibble-for-mobile-tracking/ Cheers, Alex Hi Victor,

After that it is starting to get position and send SMS ( it can be one SMS or series of SMS ). Or it can be drived by incoming SMS like this ( text os SMS ): start [n] ( n - number of position messages, if 0 - continue ) stop ( stop sending SMS ) I am sorry for my English I think it’s expensive device ( price of SMS )

This components are free ! Certainly alex can modify and provided a professional solution for tracking. I´ll test gps track device with ADOBE FLEX COMPONENTS BELOW :

In internet I've read about max232... Is it right way? thanks and cheers Tano hi again today i’ve made some kind of test of above problem described.I compile and run sample application that use software uart and print “Hallo Peter !\n\r” on terminal.It was compile for 4MHz ,8MHz Internal OSC and 7,3728 Mhz ext crystal.All results – I mean 4,8, and 7,3728 MHz was equal to “Ю=”!Ñ—_55”.
