Best GPS unit for Electron

[BrianMoreau]

Hi,
Can anybody recommend the best or most compatible GPS unit to use with the Electron please?
Ideally all i would like to receive is LAT and LONG cords

Thanks
Brian

I'd say the one that's part of the Asset Tracker Kit will be the one with most support and plenty of talk in this forum in the near future.

e.g. here (to get a feeling of what's to come)

Asset Tracker GPS real-time google map

I created a simple browser based app to show the location of your Electron Asset Tracker Shield on a Google map in realtime. Source code is at https://github.com/Hypnopompia/electron-assettracker-webmap Or you can just use it by logging in with your Particle credentials here: http://www.havocstudios.com/assettracker/ and choosing your Electron.

Thanks, where can I buy that separately as I already have an Electron?
I do not see it in the store

Is the source code for the Electron that publishes these coordinates available ?

I just saw that the library has been published. I"m all set!
