Hi, I am doing an engineering project, and I am testing the parallax GPS module with a propeller. I have downloaded the demo program and it is running ok, but in the tv, the info on the GPS stays the same even when the GPS recognizes the sattelites. If someone could help me, i would appresiate it. Thanks

Exactly which code are you using?
If you are able to get the gps results to display once but not update, my guess would be a bad "repeat" structure. Without knowing which code you're using I can't be sure. I've not used this unit, but I (and many others) have successfully been getting GPS info from other gps engines. The following link should lead you to other's work with GPS, which I hope will be helpful:

You can also search for Perry or Paul H, both of whom have posted a ton of GPS info.
Hope this points you in the right direction. Post your code if you're still having trouble.
