The code above is taken from AskGeek.io and for some reason I can't seem to get it to work... Any solutions will be welcomed! Thank you! ^^

Are you getting anything from the GPS - can you write a simpler sketch to echo what the GPS outputs to the Serial Monitor?

(Please get into the habit of using code tags when posting code)

Even though Microchip is buying Atmel, I don't think arduino.cc is quite ready to support PIC products yet. :slight_smile:

You would probably get more help on the related OpenPIC forum.

Good luck!
/dev

P.S. That code! I need to take a few aspirin.

@/dev, thank you so much! ^^

@AWOL, sorry, I am new to codes and all. Not very sure what you mean by 'getting anything from the GPS' but if you mean if the GPS works, it does :smiley: I tried running another code for it and it works perfectly fine. But that code prints out too much info and I only need the latitude and longitude from the GPS...
