38 parts, built around the ESP32-C3-MINI-1-N4, AP2112K-3.3, MAX-M10S and MMBT3904. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the joshitha-c/gps-tracker repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is gps tracker.kicad_pcb and its schematic gps tracker.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask joshitha-c before reusing the design.
