Hi! Could you please help me using TinyGPS?
I have tried to find an answer for quite a long time but due to my lack of experience in Informatics, I can not find one.
I have an Arduino UNO, Arduino IDE 1.0.5 and I'm using the GY-GPS6MV2 GPS module. The connections are OK, the real issue is that I can't make use of the code.
Perhaps the problem is simple, I have just started in this area.
I have attached a copy of the erros bellow and the library as well.
There's also a link for you if you want to download TinyGPS library: [u]http://arduiniana.org/libraries/tinygps/[/u]

/* This sample code demonstrates the normal use of a TinyGPS object.
It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
4800-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 3(rx) and 4(tx).

I hope that you could help me solve my issue.
I am looking forward t earing from you.
