Using PMB-648 with BS2

I recently bought a PMB-648 GPS to use on my Boe-Bot, which uses the standard BS2. I have downloaded the example code for the GPS, but it is written for BS2p. I am relatively new to programming the BS2 and I'm wondering if there is a way to interface the PMB-648 with a BS2 without a scratch pad.

    Reading the sentences of/from a GPS isn't hard to do.
    With or without a scratchpad - it depends what your objective is.

    Here's my program for getting the $GPGLL sentence:
    GPS_in_LCD_out06a.bs2

    My interest was the time/date and the position data.
    bs2
    bs2
    GPS_in_LCD_out06a.bs2

    Thanks, will this work with the PMB-648?
    Also, any hints on how to connect it up would be appreciated.

    EDIT: Nevermind, I was using the wrong baud rate! I feel so stupid. I never realised the BS2 and BS2p used different numbers for the same baud rates. Thanks for all the help, everything is working perfectly!
