Microchip's machine-to-machine (M2M) PICtail daughter board based upon u-blox GPS and GSM / GPRS modules makes it easy to create low-cost M2M applications with location-awareness capabilities. The daughter board can be interfaced with Microchip's multimedia expansion board and a PIC32 starter kit to provide developers with a turn-key platform to get started with apps such as texting, email and GPS.
