Difference between Maduino Zero gprs/gps a9g AND Maduino Zero SIM808 IoT GPS Tracker V3.5

I’m doing my university thesis on Vehicle Tracking Systems. My project is to create a vehicle tracking system using gsm and gps modules with a board. I’ve seen a lot of people use the A9G Maduino but it’s out of stock everywhere. Would the Maduino Zero SIM808 get the same job done?

Hello @AyAyRon and welcome to the RobotShop forum!

Both boards use the ATSAMD21G18 microcontroller, however, the boards use a different GPRS/GPS module (SIM808 vs A9G). The SIM808 also has Bluetooth connectivity and the A9G doesn’t. However, you should be able to get the same job done.
