GPS Tracker

Connect the
RX pin of GPS module to D1 pin of nodemcu board

TX pin of GPS module to D2 pin of nodemcu

Vcc pin to 3.3volts

Gnd pin to Gnd

Install the blynk app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cc.blynk&hl=en_US

Add 2 labeled value display and name the 1 value as Latitude and select the pin v1
And name the second value as Longitude and select pin v2
And now add 3 value display and name the first one as satellite and select the pin v4
And now name the second one as speed and select pin v3
And now name the 3rd one as Direction and select the pin v5
And now add a map and select pin v0
And now select push to 1 second to every widget and create it

Take a empty box place the whole system in to it and now connect the powerbank to the Nodemcu board

All done !!
