This example uses an EM-506 GPS module and google map to get and show latitudes and longitudes.

EM-506 GPS module

EM-506 uses an NMEA protocol to give information through its UART(4,800bps).
Latitudes and longitudes are read from a GGA(Global Positioning System Fixed Data) output command and marked the coordinate on google map.
The image below shows you how to connect EM-506 to PHPoC Blue.
