ESP32 GPS Tracker with Email Integration

This project demonstrates how to create a GPS tracker using the ESP32/ESP8266 module and send the current location via email. When the user presses a button, the program retrieves the current location from the GPS module and creates a Google Maps URL for it. It then connects to a Wi-Fi network and sends the location to a specified recipient via email.

Features

  • Retrieves GPS location and creates a Google Maps URL
  • Connects to a Wi-Fi network
  • Sends location via email using the SMTP protocol

Hardware Requirements

  • ESP32 WROOM
  • GPS NEO-6M
  • Button
  • wires and breadboard

Installation

  1. Clone or download the repository.
  2. Open the Arduino IDE and install the required libraries (WiFi, ESP_Mail_Client, TinyGPSPlus).
  3. Connect the hardware components as described in the wiring diagram.
  4. Configure the Wi-Fi and email settings in the code.
  5. Upload the code to the ESP8266 module.
  6. Press the button to send the current location via email.

LED status on the GPS module

  • No blinking – it is searching for satellites.
  • Blink every 1s – Position Fix is found (the module can see enough satellites).
