More progress...

So I've been playing with NewSoftSerial for the Arduino. I'm still having difficulties coordinating all the serial communication from the gps out the bluetooth to the laptop. I can debug using the usb connection for now but once the streets are dry I want to see a rover about a way point. Hopefully I can at least get some data back while driving. The acceptance criteria for the final product of this project is officially reduced to pyrotechnics and any movement in the general direction if the first way point. Yeah I said pyrotechnics!
