    The only sample programs available are for the Stamp processors that Parallax makes. The Stamp examples are in the documentation for the GPS module found here: www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=28146.

    We cannot help you with the PIC programming. You will have to find what resources you can from any Microchip or other PIC support forums.

    As with most projects, it's best to "divide and conquer".

    Can you display text on the LCD ? If no, that is your first task.

    Can you receive serial data ? If no, that is your second task.

    After you have done both of those, it's just a matter of receiving the serial data from the GPS and writing the important characters to the LCD.
    Good luck,

    Bean.

    It works very well with a 16f917 a 16F628A and a 16F876A using mechaniques Picbasic Pro and with a BS2P.

    For the first poster, let us all understand your request, you come to the parallax site looking for someone to do your final college project for you in PicBasic, is that correct ?

    If you start slowly with a stamp and get that working then translation of your code to any one of the pics should be a breeze.

    If you check some of the PicBasic forums then you should find enough info to get started.


    Good luck with your project.

    If you ever enter the engineering world and expect others to do your work then your going to need all the luck you can get.
