We will write two programs for the GPS Car. The first program is a simple GPS test program, and the second is the autonomous navigation program. Before we start programming, we will need to prepare the EV3 software for use with the third-party hardware.

Preparing the EV3 software
The dGPS and compass require specific software for them to be used with the EV3. Both sensors have their own programming block, which allows you to program the third-party sensor like you would program a standard EV3 sensor. Thankfully, the software is available for download for free from the manufacturers' websites. All we need to do is follow a few steps to download the third-party software and import it into the EV3 programming environment...
