How do you build a gps tracking device?

Low Cost Home Built GPS Device?I would not even attempt to do this and I am an electronics design engineer. It would involve a satellite receiver and transmitter and lots of custom chips, and there probably is no way to build a low-cost unit compared to commercial units. In other words you would be better off buying a commercial unit.That said, it is possible there is a kit for a GPS tracking device which is less than a commercially built unit.Any such kit would either:Come with a fully preassembled and tested GPS receiver module. (you might as well just buy a complete unit, price would be similar)Use surface mount components that would require the home builder purchase or lease thousands of dollars of specialized reflow soldering tools to assemble it. (kit might be low cost, assembling it won't be)When assembled the finished unit would consist of several cards and occupy over a cubic foot of space. (low cost but not portable)
