user27157: I am trying to use a NEO-6M GPS to datalog my current position on a Micro SD card with the help of an Arduino Pro Mini. It doesn't transmit anything. So do I need a SIM card?

Caution:

The GPS tracker must be worked with a SIM card which may cost data and SMS fee.

No annual authorization fee for the first year. The coming annual fee details, please visit our company website.




user3917: For use as a GPS device, the NEO-6M doesn't need a SIM card.  For use as part of a tracker that sends SMS / GSM messages, ie, that uses the cell telephone system to send messages, you need a SIM card.  The SIM card is used to authenticate your system to the phone system.
