Using WiFly GSX with Arduino to send/receive data

So basically I am working on my senior design project and I'm currently trying to figure out the WiFly GSX module. I am hoping to be able to control a surveillance style vehicle through some sort of GUI possibly a webserver while in user control mode, but also be able to send a gps coordinate to the arduino through the wifly which puts the vehicle in autonomous mode (navigating to destination). I want to also send periodic updates of location and speed back to the gui. Right now I have my hands full with trying to figure out the communication. I can't find many examples using this particular device and I'm hoping for any advice or feedback. I can successfully create an adhoc network with the WiFly and telnet to it with my laptop where I can set and review network settings. I'm now trying to figure out the best way to go about sending and receiving data. Thanks!

hope u have been successful on how to best receive and send data judging from the time of your post. i am currently doing a similar thing but kind of got hold up after successfully connecting the wifly module but cannot communicate with the device in any way either TCP or telnet. How did you go about it?...thanks
