Proposed design is a remote location finding using SMS. We can get the GPS coordinates of the vehicle by sending an SMS to the mobile number present in this module. It contains an Arduino Board, GPS module and a GSM module. The Arduino waits for an SMS from the car owner to be received on the GSM module, when the SMS arrives Arduino fetches the GPS coordinates from the GPS module and then sends a SMS back to the car owner using the GSM module. This can be helpful in case of theft, unauthorized use or tracking of the vehicle using the GPS coordinates.
