In this guide, you\u2019ll learn how to turn your ESP32 and a TFT display into a GPS reader that displays the current location, altitude, speed, date, and time using LVGL (Light Versatile Graphics Library). We’ll use the NEO-6M GPS Module to get the GPS data and the ESP32 chip will be programmed using Arduino IDE.<\/p>\n\n\n

Project Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll display the current GPS data (latitude and longitude), altitude, speed, time and date on a 2.8-inch ILI9341 TFT LCD Touchscreen (240×320). We’ll be using the NEO-6M GPS Module (read our NEO-6M getting started guide<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n
