GPS Interfacing

[MMK]

I know it sounds like too much but Is there a way I can get live feed of my RC CAR location on my laptop in a google-maps format??? I have seen a build in which they interfaced their GPS module with an 8051 Microcontroller which actually showed the altitude and latitudes of its location on an LCD! Plz Help!!!

I think you want to search on GPS data logger transmitter or GPS transponder or something like that

There is a wide variety of GPS modules and devices available for DIYers. Take a look at Hack-a-Day for some ideas.

By having a mobile telephone on board your toy.
