I would like to know if this GPS is usable with flowcode, i am looking at it because of the 5 volts supply it needs, about every other one i have seen are 3.3 volts! If anyone have a better option let me know thanx a lot!

Hi Speedy,

The module should work fine with Flowcode but be careful the supply voltage is 5V but the output to the micro seems to be at 2.85V.

You could use a buffer IC with open collector style outputs and this way you can convert the signal back to the micro up to 5V by using a pull up resistorto VCC on the buffer output.
