Errors Using the SerialGLCD 128X64

First of all I want to say that I am a beginner in Arduino or C language, I bought a Serial GLCD 128X64 from Sparkfun about 2 months ago. I connected it to the Arduino Duemilanove (Atmega 328) and used a example SparkFun Serial Graphic LCD 128x64 - LCD-09351 - SparkFun Electronics in the "Graphic LCD Library". This example works without problems. Below is a few lines of code:

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200); //default baudrate of the display, can be changed, consult summoningdark's README that comes with the firmware to change it
  delay(2000);
  
}

serialGLCD lcd; // initialisation

void loop() {
  
  lcd.clearLCD();
  // Allow for a short delay after clearLCD since it takes some time for the backpack to clear the entire screen
  delay(10);
  // Draw the sprite (int x, int y, int mode, int height, int width, byte data)
  // x and y defines the upper left corner to draw from, mode (same modes as text), height and width of the bitmap in pixels. sprite is the array of bytes.
  lcd.drawData(0,0,4,128,64,sprite6);
  delay(2000);  
  lcd.clearLCD();

I tried to adapt it to a program I have written but I got a lot of errors. I have the following code:

void gps_position_print()
  {
   if (GPS_screen==0)
      {
      lcd.clearLCD();
      }
      else
      {
  GPS_screen=1;      
  lcd.gotoPosition(4,0);
  Serial.print("  GPS DATA  ");

And I got the following errors :

" In function 'void gps_position_prin()':
" error 'lcd' was not declared in this scope"

In the example code we have the function " lcd.clearLCD(); and it doesn't give error.

Can you please help in and give me some clues to solve the problem.

Thanks
Manuel

Hellow all,

I decided to put the entire sketch I wrote, the example I used to test the SerialGLCD s in the Arduino examples menu. The sketch is in 2 post .

The code I wrote is the following ( the display positions may be wrong, but I think this isn't the problem):

Also you may find a not very well organized code, but, as I said in the first post I am a beginner in the Arduino and C, so, please apologise if you find it weird.
The error the compiler displays is:" In function 'void gps_position_print()':
error: 'lcd' was not declered in this scope
