There are at least two issues with the PmodGPS library distributed by Digilent for chipKIT.

1. The isFixed() method only returns true if PFI is 1. However, PFI can also be 2 when running in differential mode.
2. The GPS module returns data as dddmm.mmmm where ddd is degrees and mm.mmmm is in minutes. The formatCOORDS() method supposedly converts the data to ddd mm ss.ss, but really just drops the digits in from the dddmm.mmmm stream without converting the decimal minutes to seconds as ss.ss using a 60.0 multiplier.

Thanks for pointing these out! I'll get this fixed as soon as I can!
