Hi,

There are many ways to Rome. We have examples for mobile apps on github that you can use to get started with BLE on mobile in addition to the BLE examples in our SDK. Maybe you can elaborate a bit? How experienced are you and what is your use case?

I am on a beginner level and has recently started working on the development kit. I have tested many of the examples of the sdk. 
What i want to do is to know my chips location by taking a reference from my mobile gps. I dont want to put another gsm module with my nrf52832 chip but instead use my smartphone's gps to identify where my chip is.That's why i wanted to extract the gps co-ordinates of my mobile and receive them on my nrf52832. Any idea on how to do this ?

So you need a mobile app that can get the GPS data and transmit it to the nRF52?

Then I would start with e.g. the Android nRF UART example and the UART/Serial Port Emulation over BLE and expand upon that.

i have already compiled and tested these examples. I was able to transmit and receive any string over uart/ble . i wanna know how to basically gather or acquire the gps data and that u hinted by saying i need a mobile app...any authentic app u would suggest which is also able to connect with other bluetooth devices so that data transmission and reception can be done
