Build your own GPS tracking system Raspberry Pi Zero W 2026 (Udemy.com)

Would expect more professional vocabulary for technical terms, ie. its wrong to say that GPS signal from satellite will travel at the speed of light. There's also somewhat pressure to install and use non-open-source software which require acceptance of various T&C that could have conflicting privacy policies. Didn't get to the step where this is explained how someone suppose to carry concealed long antenna for better signal, and how all this suppose to be connected to avoid mechanical damage, ie. in backback

El curso trae fecha del 2024, sin embargo, el video de instalación de la imagen esta desactualizado, la página de donde se descarga el S.O. ya no existe, la configuración de red cambia totalmente, y la herramienta para escanear la red también esta desactualizada ya que ahora no muestra las IP's, no pienso seguir avanzando y perdiendo el tiempo en el curso, invierto el mismo tiempo investigando por mi cuenta que viendo el video, esperaba que por medio del video podría avanzar mas rápido en este tipo de detalles pero no es así.

This training course was made by a professional. I'm not a technical or programmer but I could understand all the Raspberry Pi Zero W components and all the python instructions, because the instructor explains all this things very well. Thank you for this course and best regards!

this course is amazing as of now , I am learning soo many things about GPS, raspberry pi system and , IOT and may more . the good thing about this course is ,the the way tutor explained each section step by step in order to make project hence, we can implement the knowledge by making GPS based projects. I recommend this course for all who want to learn how to make real time project and GPS based projects.

I'm really enjoying the course and learning a lot; my only gripe is that if I'd have known I needed to buy a bunch of extra bits of kit at the start, rather than half way through, I could have been better prepared to go at the course fully from the start rather than getting to a point and then having to buy extra bits and wait for delivery. A required kit list and all the options (direct USB or USB-UART etc.) would have made this much better and let me know what exactly was involved. Some bits were a bit too quick to keep up with, but I guess you can always keep going back and checking, and it would have been n ice to be told that the starting GPSD on boot would lock out your GUI log in on your Pi, took a bit of time to resolve that!!

This was a fast paced information packed course. I believe that purchasing this course will give me the confidence and ability to make a GPS tracking system and make tweaks to the overall concept to suit my needs. However, there are many gaps to fill, but I think I know what I don't know.

Disappointed that the course makes use of IoT Hub systems for all dashboards, and mapping functionality, and doesn't show any JavaScript on how to render the information in a web page. Using an IoT Hub requires payment to 3rd parties if you wanted to develop a commercial application.

Detailed explanation and very easy to understand. the work put in for understanding by the tutor is great, really appreciate the content and information provided its really helpful i am new to hardware embedded system but i did not find it difficult to start with cause everything was to the point and crisp clear, really looking forward to have some more courses and projects like this, thank you...!!!

This course is very clear and fast pasted as well, it introduced multiple subjects relating to development platform and what you can do with those. It is best to have prior experience with electronic engineering and computer science. There are minor aspects that isn't up to date or alternative procedures that need to be mentioned.

I set to learn all I can about GPS modules and I think this is a very good course for beginning the learning journey into the GPS modules and raspberry pi's. The instructor is very knowledgable, and has all the patience and intention in teaching newbies like myself and answering their questions in good detail. The venture of connecting a GPS module, an antenna, battery and what have you to a loaded raspberry pi is not straightforward, so Peter (the instructor) does a wonderful job of demystifying the complexities inherent in the topic. I have finished the course and the items I ordered have just started arriving. I am going to retake the course from the beginning and do trust I should be able to connect the hardware and see some live GPS data on a google map soon. One thing that could be improved is the size of the end solution. It will be my objective to achieve that and the course does leave such aesthetics for the students to try out by themselves I think. I hope to see more related course Peter, thank you very much.
