    Exclamation Help me Started!

    I want someone to tell me about the format of the data generated by the reciever so that i can use it to build a software on a microcontroller that read the data from GPS receiver.
    All what i have seen only explain the technical things and also with no details on the steps of build the system from the first step to the last step.

    Most off-the-shelf GPS receivers output NMEA data. (Some output data in other formats, like the Garmin proprietary format).
    Here's a good informational link about the structure of NMEA sentences. It's not all that difficult to decode: http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htm
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?
