So after a spring break trip to Kansas and some work stuff I'm back in the saddle. Minutes before we left I was able to verify that my coordinates from the gps unit were good.
After I realized that the output was in degrees/decimal minutes, not degrees/minutes/seconds I was able to plot my exact position from inside my duplex! Google maps even put me on the correct side of the street - hooo raaay!
With that revelation I'm back to hacking up some code to get the motors to do something.
Additionally I found a really cool uav project - ArduPilot to rip apart. Hopefully with some simplification (I don't need pitch/altitude) I can save some serious time.
