TinyGPSPlus is a compact, customizable Arduino library for parsing NMEA data streams from GPS modules. It extracts position, date, time, altitude, speed, and course, and can parse arbitrary or proprietary NMEA sentences.

Use cases

• parse GPS coordinates from an NMEA stream on Arduino
• extract latitude and longitude from a GPS module
• get date, time, speed, and course from GPS sentences
• parse proprietary NMEA sentences from a GPS receiver
• build a GPS tracker with Arduino
• read GPS data on non-Arduino embedded platforms

When to choose

• you need a lightweight GPS/NMEA parser for Arduino or another microcontroller
• you want to extract custom fields from arbitrary NMEA sentences
• memory-constrained projects that need compact parsing code

When to avoid

• you need a full GPS solution with hardware drivers, not just sentence parsing
• your project targets high-level platforms with richer GPS libraries
• you require an actively developed library with a formal license
