  • @slash-dev i am tryng to go deep, and understanding the entire code, sorry for my noob questions. 1) Why in your code you use AltSoftSerial and SoftwareSerial.h ? 2) Why did you create two objects "gps" and "Fix" i also read the documentation on github Thanks for your time!

  • @uomodellamansarda, read point 2 in my answer. SoftwareSerial is very inefficient, so you should use something else. Read more about it here. The gps object is responsible for reading chars from gpsPort and creating fix structures for you to read (just like TinyGPS++). The fix object holds on to all the GPS values that were parsed from the gpsPort. Calling gps.read() fills out the fix object (it's a local copy for you to use anywhere in your sketch). You can use various pieces of that object, like fix.latitude(). Commented May 8, 2017 at 16:03
