Integrating GPS Tracking with STM32 for a Taxi Dispatch System?

Hi everyone,
I’m exploring the idea of building a simple GPS-based dispatch or tracking system using STM32 microcontrollers. The goal is to track vehicle locations in real-time, similar to how airport taxi services like the one I’m involved with operate. Has anyone here worked on a project like this or used STM32 for fleet tracking applications? Any advice on best modules or libraries for GPS + GSM integration would be appreciated.

Dispatch is very different from tracking - so which one are you actually asking about?

Certainly, pretty much any microcontroller can be used with any GPS receiver to track its location.

I guess you'll also want your "tracker" to report its location in real-time to some base system - the "Dispatch" system?

That will depend on what coverage is available wherever you intend to operate.

There is loads of prior art on this ...

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
