From the project
GNSS tracker using bluetooth LNS to connect to Phone.
BLETracker is a Zephyr-based firmware project for a Bluetooth Low Energy tracker built around a Nordic nRF52840 platform and a u-blox SAM-M10 GNSS module. The repository also contains the associated board definition files and schematic design files.
BLETracker is a portable external GNSS positioning device designed to work with a smartphone over BLE. It augments the phone’s built-in GNSS by offloading positioning to a dedicated low-power device.
