This document describes the design and implementation of a modular GPS platform as a B.Sc. graduation project. The platform uses Android as its operating system due to its open source and robust nature. It employs both software and hardware modularity. The software is organized into modules like an extension manager, maps retriever, and navigator interface. The hardware includes components like the microcontroller, GPS module and other peripherals connected over buses. The goal of the project is to create a flexible platform that can be used to track objects and control movable vehicles.
