When I received the M5Stack together with the M5 Stack GPS module I wanted to generate a simple display to show actual GPS data. It was the perfect opportunity to find out how to use the graphic display, the buttons and the Arduino library TinyGPS++.

So, what this project offers:

Display of the parameters lateral and longitudinal location, altitude, speed, number of actual received satellites, HDOP value and time and date.
With the right button you can switch between German and English language.
With the middle button you can change between the format of the lateral and longitudinal location from decimal degree to degree, minutes and seconds and back.
With the left button you can change the brightness of the display.
Especially care is given to update the display only when necessary to avoid flicker of the display.
Also, a huge effort was spent to determine if the GPS is receiver is not attached or if no valid GPS data is detected.
The code is commented very well so changes to your needs should be straight forward and fairly easy.

Enjoy the project!
