## Usage
Connect the ESP and GPS to the external battery. Once the GPS warms up, it will get a location reading every 2 seconds. Power does not need to be continuously supplied, as the location is written to the EEPROM. To get the location data, reset/power cycle ESP.

## Plotting
#### _So now you have your GPS coordinates. Now what?_
For now, you have to search the GPS coordinates on Google Maps or something.
However, in the future, it would be nice to process the coordinates locally,
without having to copy/paste several sets of coords to a website. However, the
methods I have found to do this ([HERE][here] and [geoplot][geop]) have not
worked, even the examples. Eventually, I will find another solution, probably
in Python, but until then, copy/paste.
