Resources and Going Further

GPS is a great technology for anyone to have in their back pocket. Thanks to the size of my enclosure, I literally have it in my back pocket. In all seriousness, this was a great project. It builds on good engineering principles and processes, teaches new technologies and platforms, as well as pushes ourselves out of our comfort zones just far enough. Thank you and I hope you can track your progress as much as I have!
