This is an MSP430F5529LP-based GPS tracking system that stores location data and uploads to a webpage. It uses an EM-506 GPS Module to get latitude, longitude and UTC time every 3 seconds. It then writes that data to a text file on a micro SD card through the attached transflash breakout. When in range of a certain open WiFi network, it will periodically upload its position data to a server on the local network using an ESP8266 WiFi module. The server consists of two pages: map.php and upload.php. The upload.php page simply takes the location query string parameters from a GET request and responds with OK if writing to data to a local text file was a success. The map.php page uses the Google Maps Javascript API to display a map with location points read from the local text file.
