I just checked and there was NO article in the Portable 100 Magazines on the Club100.org website.
The standard data output of a GPS is NEMA-0183, and is at 4800bps, 8 data, no parity, 1 stop. Data is output in bursts every 1 second. There is a newer standard NEMA-2000 that has a transmit speed of 250Kbps, but most all GPS units should support NEMA-0183. The standard is well covered here: http://freenmea.net/docs I am not sure if M100 BASIC alone can keep up with the data bursts and display useful information at the same time. A machine language driver may need to handle the data burst reception / parsing task. Depending on the GPS you are using, there may be several sentences in each burst. The sentence to start parsing out with is the $--GGA sentence. This has the useful basic position information.
