I have an bluethooth gps. I gonna use it to my bs2 and get nmea gps informations. It has inside some contact points(rx, tx, tp 25, tp 19). How do I connect it to my stamp? How do I recieve serial data?

I would start by finding technical documentation for the GPS which explains what these pins are for and also explains serial codes which can be sent and what serial codes would be received via these pins.

Then decide what codes you want to send. What information you want to receive.

And the electrical requirements for these pins.

I know I have a cell phone which comes with instructions for the consumer on how to use it. My cell phone also has electrical connections and these are not documented in this instruction manual other than "plug this or that into that jack".

But somewhere else out in the world is detailed technical documentation as to what the pins are for and what all these pins can be used for.
