Hi,
I'm currently using PBP 2.47 and Byte Arrays to get data from a GPS. This works OK but doing any maths is compicated.

Am I right in thinking that if I upgrade to PBP 2.50 and use an 18F that I can read a 7 digit number as an integer and then do maths on it.

Eg: If I want to read 3557.1542361. Can I use:

LATDEG VAR WORD
LATMIN VAR LONG

SERIN2 RXPIN, 16468,[DEC4 LATDEG, DEC7 LATMIN]

If it works as easily as this is it possible to have more accarate trig and SQRT functions as well.

Thanks for anyy help.

Mike
