The issue is that the Prallax need us to send it a command string "!GPS0x05" and then read the reply which is the latitude in decimal format. I am trying to read it into a Long variable, but when I print the value, all I get is -1. We can see from the GPS that it has acquired a fix. I am befuddled

Please post back or let me know if you find a way to get it to work. I'm very interested in getting something like this off the ground and working.
