Importing GPS Library In Arduino IDE

[Memelord-The-First]

So i'm relatively new to Arduino and I was wondering how I can import this Library into the IDE. Unlike other packages, I can't just download the ZIP File and import it that way because it doesn't work. I tried just importing the "firmware" Folder and that doesn't work either. I only want to be able to use the GPS Capabilities of the board as everything else is working with the Wrover B Library. Any help would be appreciated!

PS: Also it would be helpful if someone could tell me the Functions used to get the Latitude and Longitude.

You need TinyGSM library to use the GPS capabilities. Import that library in Arduino/PlatformIo.

@Memelord-The-First are you using Arduino IDE or platform IO ?

[Memelord-The-First]

I'm using Arduino. Never heard of Platform IO.

[Mr-HaleYa]

good I strongly dislike platform IO, it doesn't work for like 80% of the jobs I do 😅

so you need to install the TinyGSM library and you can follow the instructions here to do that https://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/libraries

then you can use the examples from the TinyGSM library https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/LibraryExamples

or you can download the examples from this repo https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGO-T-SIM7000G/tree/master/examples open the one you want, open the file, then click the download button

Thanks for such a detailed answer! Will hopefully try it tomorrow and close up this issue
