Hi guys,
I need to make a device or just a circuit which consists of a push button and other required circuitry. The aim is that when the push button is pressed, the device records its current location (lat and long) and sends it off in an email. How feasible is this? I was thinking the circuit will require some sort of GPS chip, a SIM card and a microprocessor as the controller. Could you please give any advice or links to help me get started?
Cheers.
Uni project time?
Yes, it's feasible and pretty easy these days. Combined GPS and GSM modules exist. Google is your friend, I got these:

I have a device called gpsguider (for fixed cameras)if you press a button on it it will give you coordinates but you would have to send them manually or hack into it.
Thanks, that's the sort of thing I need. Does cost a fair bit, doesn't it? I'll check out Jaycar and Altronics too.
Haha no, I just passed that hurdle. This is at work although it feels somewhat the same.
