GPS to servo program?

Anyone know of a program that will take GPS info to a BS2 and MiniSSC
to control a servo? Found one, but can't seem to get it to work.
Have no experience so was hoping to work on something I had an
interest in. Not much on the web that I can find.

    Will, I looked over your email and looked at the
    program again. Couldn't find much wrong. Put the
    serial servo controller on output 7, and serial signal
    from GPS coming in on input 8.

    Under the serout commands the servo at position "0" is
    the steering servo. The servo at position "1" is the
    speed servo, hence it stays at a constant speed. You
    can change the output to both servos depending on your
    vehicle.

    This program depends on a GPS unit that let you set a waypoint in order to get
    the NMEA
    strings used.
