Hi, I can't seem to get data from this gps chip.
Do no not have any serial ports available and I need irregular gps data, that is why i use i2c. However, I have not been able to get data.
Please help me out...

How do you have that device connected to the Arduino? Where did you get the idea that it supports I2C? What code are you using to try to talk to it? What else is connected to the Arduino? Which Arduino are you using?

The seller told me it is i2c compattible.
I have no idea where to start on this device, I thought i would need an adress, commands or anything like that.
Do you perhaps have an other Idea?
I just need gps data but I do not have any serial ports left.

I just need gps data but I do not have any serial ports left.
What pins do you have left? On which Arduino?

The assignment giver gave us some custom arduino board running the atmega168.
pins left:
i2c (SCL SDA Ground 5V)
MISO
SCK
Reset
Im thinking of buyng a new board (ardiuno mini 5V) and using my old serial GPS. This assignment is giving me a headache...
That chip does not use I2C, but serial data. So use two of the free pins and use a software serial emulator.
