    Welcome to the forum. You got it. The way to learn is to try things and read this forum daily, not just when you have a problem. If time permits I like to work through some of the problems people have and see if I can figure them out. Just like a home work assignment.

    Some of the professors here are even funny

    That's just great, hope i'll be able to do that someday.

    what i would like to achieve is to put a strip of data (60 characters) in a variable so that i can modify it later and resend-it every second.

    Can't seem to be able to put my finger on it, but i am so close.

    anyway, i'll search again (and again), and i will finally get it somehow

    what i have now is a hserin (to receive) and right after that a hserout.

    Putting incoming serial data in a variable is like a big miracle (lol).

    Timing is my big problem for now, while i receive (hserin) i don't have time to store the data somewhere (loosing characters)

    so far i made some progress, i'll get there eventually...

    Default Extracting position rom GPS data stream

    Have a look at
    http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=5423
    where you will see an example of reading the NMEA data stream, putting the selected string into an array and extracting the wanted fields.

    You will normally NOT want to retransmit the entire NMEA stream, but instead just selected fields.
