2. GSM Schematics Diagram : GSM is used for sending and receiving
messages using AT commands like
AT+CMGS, AT+CMGR, etc.
GPS is used in the project to calculate the
latitude and longitude of every coordinate to
which the taxi travels. The display
incorporated in the system continuously
displays the readings of GPS, and the RTC
time, it also displays indications of sending
and receiving messages, therefore the
customer is fully aware of his travel details.
