Inverse Trig

Now that the main robot is done, some of my friends and I have begun to work on a side project involving GPS tracking. We would like to use a PBASIC controller, since we have experience programming it, but we are unsure as to how to program inverse trig functions. Through some internet research we have found some equations that can be used to calculate inverse tangent, but we fear that PBASIC may round the angle measures. Since our robot will drive itself, we feel that we need to be accurate to at least 2-3 decimal places. If anyone has experience with programming inverse trig functions, most importanly inverse tangent, please contact me.
Thanks,
