The TX/RX lines transmit signals with
0v ==>LOW
2.85v ==>HIGH

this first has to be converted to the 0v-5v logic level (for which, i designed a level shifter)
->and then given to the serial port using a logic level converter( such as MAX-232))
->and then displayed on the hyper terminal running at 4800 baud.


But while communicating to a microcontroller, is the logic level converter(MAX232) necessary? Currently, I am simply using the 2.85v to 5v circuit and then giving the TX of the 8051 to the RX of the GPS module and visa versa. Am I right?


I agree with you, and you certainly don't have to convert it to RS232 levels and back to drive the microcontroller !
