logging gps strings

Van Dessel

Hope fully last question for my project on this forum from all my silly questions

Any way, my question is how do I create a string that i wirte to SRLM's datalogger?
I'm able to get numeric values from temperature sensors and pressure sensors with no problem, only annoying thing is I can't get gps information to be·recorded in my text file.

my code right now is:

  USB.addfield(@latitude, 10, string("latitude"))
  USB.addfield(@longitude, 10, string("longitude"))
  USB.addfield(@altitude, 10, string("altitude"))
  USB.addfield(@time, 10, string("time"))
  USB.addfield(@temp1, 3, string("temperature 1"))
  USB.addfield(@temp2, 3, string("temperature 2"))
  USB.addfield(@temp3, 3, string("temperature 3"))
  USB.addfield(@pressure, 6, string("pressure"))   
  leds(1)         
  USB.start                                              
  repeat 60                                               
    leds(1)
    latitude:=gps.latitude  
    longitude:=((gps.longitude))           
    altitude:=gps.altitude
    time:=gps.time
    temp1:=temps.gettempc                           'works
    temp2:=temps2.gettempc                          'works
    temp3:=temps3.gettempc                          'works
    pressure:=press.read_pressure                   'works

i'm using a slightly modified version Gps_IO_mini to get my gps info. Currently on my understanding on how my gps works (the pmb-248 from parallax) is that it pumps out ASCII characters that I can record as variables but that the autologger just·can't record. If thats just the case then I will just forget about the gps but if there is any other way that would be great!
Thanks for all the help so far (and for people minding newb questions!!
