//here is the code for sender
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial SerialSend(11, 10); //RX, TX
float gps= 14.5115569;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  SerialSend.begin(9600);
}


void loop() {
  SerialSend.write((uint8_t *)(&gps), sizeof(gps));
  Serial.println(gps, 7);
}


//here is the code for reciever
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>

SoftwareSerial mySerial(10, 11); //RX, TX

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  mySerial.listen();
}

void loop() {  
  const uint8_t numFloatBytes{sizeof(float)};
  char tempBuffer[numFloatBytes];
  float floatvalue;
  for(uint8_t i = 0; i < numFloatBytes; i++){
    tempBuffer[i] = mySerial.read();
  }
  memcpy((void *)&floatvalue, tempBuffer, numFloatBytes);
  Serial.println(floatvalue, 7);
  delay(1000);
}```

The write() method of the SoftwareSerial class takes a byte, not an int as an argument hence the truncation.

Welcome to the forum

It is bad enough when a user posts a screenshot of code, but 4 in 1 is a new low

Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'

Use code tags (the </> icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination
