How do I discern Maidenhead Locator from GPS lat long info.

[astanapane]

First of all i need to Apologize for my absent.

Now :

1. Didnt find and Update for pickit2. Not a problem because i will think to use the following PICs and i see that pickit2 at the moment supports it.

2. As far as the pic16f88 is limited in ram i need to step up and use a better microcontroller. Im Looking at the PIC18F4550 or PIC18F2550.

3.The project as i have it in mind need to have an SD in order to store the Data from GPS Nmea.

I found out that only a microcontroller with 48mhz supports something like that. Apart from that i have a question.

May i use the same speed for All the peripherals SD, Ulcd, GPS? Or do i need to specify different one for each module?

May i use 48mhz for processor speed and use low speed baudrate to communicate for Serial?

Could You help me and clarity what i need for each GPS, SD, Ulcd?

So i need to communicate Serial with GPS module and then i need to store the raw Nmea Data to SD and display what i need from the Nmea protocols to display.
