Thank you for your explanation, Patrick. Yes you're right. I plan to make something to advertise its position mobile. And I also want to advertise more information other than position only. I'm thinking to make it with GPS + T2-301 + ??? + sensor. I don't have any idea what to add between T2-301 and the sensor (without PC), since the T2-301 has only one RS-232. As I know, if I connect RS-232 of the T2-301with the GPS, so I don't have any port to use with the sensor. I hope I'm wrong.
