I'm trying to connect with gps venus 3.3 and i'm using program example for parallex gps, but it doesn't work. To be more specyfic - it has a problem with BYTE in that line of code: Serial.print(byteGPS, BYTE); Do you have any idea why?

Yes, the code you are using was written for IDEs prior to 1.0. The error should tell you to replace Serial.print(val, BYTE) with Serial.write(val). So replace

Serial.print(byteGPS, BYTE);

with

Serial.write(byteGPS);

This question is asked and answered frequently, and is also explained in the IDE release notes.

The allowed values there are BIN, OCT, DEC, HEX. It's just the base that should be used to display the number. Use one that's OK for you from the list given.

Except in previous versions of the IDE, where BYTE was used to prevent any conversion, and simply send the binary data, which is what Serial.write() does.

When I write this:

Serial.write(byteGPS);

program compiles, but i don't have any response from gps.

And when I tried with DEC.... the error is the same.

When I write this

Well, we have no idea how you typed byteGPS, or how you valued it, or where you are calling that function. So, you're on your own.

And when I tried with DEC.... the error is the same.

When you tried what with DEC? What error is the same as what?

I should start with another question: do I need to configure gps via GPS Viewer Software first?

I should start with another question

So will I then. Do you have a link to this mysterious GPS?

do I need to configure gps via GPS Viewer Software first?

If you do, you'll have a known configuration for the Arduino to deal with. I'd say that is a good thing.
