GPS Tracker for Public Convenience Using Node MCU and Blynk Application

Abstract

IoT can be simply understood as anything in this world which is connected to internet. IoT basically needs an IoT platform for its implementation. In the upcoming days people will see almost everything under the sun which will be working with IoT technology. Vehicles and transportation has become a major part in our daily life and keeping a track of them is also essential. Likewise, safety of children is an important area of concern for parents. The children are naïve and vulnerable to child trafficking. For the safety of the children, the paper proposes a GPS system to track children. GPS helps in getting the latitude and longitude values of device on which they lie. A technology combining IoT and GPS for our application is made. The IoT platform does not support mapping of ordinates of an object. So implementation of maps using Blynk Application is carried out on that platform.
