    This can happen if the GPS Module is sending out data in RAW mode. Can you check the level of the RAW pin? It should be high. If no, that could be your problem. Which BASIC Stamp model are you using?

    Okay well that explains it then. That program was written for the BS2. The BS2p uses different values for the baud rate timing. You can modify the program to use the correct values for the BS2p. The values can be found in the BASIC Stamp Manual or Help File. I hope this helps. Take care.
