I've just completed a neato display module to show formated position data from any NMEA gps receiver. It works quite well in a 16F84, and uses a software UART with interrupt support. For sale if any interest contact me off-list. I have had difficulty with interrupts in the past. Particularily stay away from the interrupt on change stuff, be careful with the capture/ pwm setup, and SSPI2C stuff is a bitch! Also, make sure your read all the application notes on interrupts and make sure you are mindful of your stimulus signal rise times, period, etc. when coding.
