Serial graphic display question

I have this serial GLCD from sparkfun("SparkFun Serial Graphic LCD 128x64 - LCD-09351 - SparkFun Electronics"). I am trying to print gps lat and long readings to this display. The problem is I need a way for the numbers to just update. When I use the clearscreen() command the display has to reprint each line to the lcd. Is there a way to refresh the numbers instead of having to clear the screen?

and if you know anything about filelogger no one responded to my last post.

Thanks any help is appreciated.

Did you delete your post about filelogger?

Your initial question's disappeared and now there's only my reply. Weird.

Sure you can, just print spaces (assuming fixed width font) over your text then print the new text.

Well that's what I would normally do on a character display. Maybe on a graphic display you want to print a box over the largest area the text can occupy.
