I'm pretty sure it will but newsoftserial is better so you might as well change it to that.

The strtok function can be used to extract tokens, delimited by some character. In your string all the pieces are separated by commas, which makes strtok ideal.

where have you read this? NSS should work with your 38400 GPS.

If you want to see a good example of how to parse gps data, have a look at the source code to TinyGPS
