#171944 - Problem
Responding to: ???'s previous message
As per the web link you posted.... how will the microcontroller know when to switch from GPS to GSM?

The answers is - there is know way of knowing when to switch between either GPS or GSM AND you could
loose valuable serial data when switched to the other?

Best option
1st use a Microcontroller with 2 serial ports
2nd best add a second serial port (hardware) such as a NXP SC16IS750 via SPI or I2C
Very Bad option - write a software serial port routine.

Both 1st and 2nd option should allow you to buffer serial data.
