This paper describes the design of a computer-aided educational mobile GPS (Global Positioning System) set. By means of this set,use of a GPS receiver and GPS connectivity with mobile devices can be taught more effectively. In addition, students can developrelated GPS applications supported by mobile technologies like GSM, GPRS or Bluetooth. This mobile education set enables studentsto send location information via SMS or compare GPS receivers' data in different locations via GPRS etc. This set consists of a GPSmodule, an antenna, an 8051-based microcontroller, a monitor ROM for embedded applications, a portable computer and anapplication software that communicates with the hardware. Educational materials prepared by Macromedia Flash and JavaProgramming Language have been added to the GPS education set in order to design an efficient student-oriented system.
