Reading (tapping) serial data stream

I have a UAV navigation system (APM) a friend would like to integrate with GPS logging.
Everything in the navigation chain is set.
I would simply have to read the serial GPS data and store it on a SD.
I already have working code for the Propeller to read the stream and save the data.
My only question is about how to read the ongoing data stream from the GPS to the other micro without causing issues.
Would it be enough to simply connect the serial signal also to my propeller or should I buffer it?

    If the signal only connects to the other micro and is 3.3V connection through a resistor should be fine.

    Thanks.
    It looks the navigation system stores data in an internal memory, so there is not the need to store in an SD, but I would like to test it nonetheless.
