Connect GPS unit and PC to Microcontroller

I’d like to connect my EM-406A GPS module to an ATmega8 microcontroller.

From what I’ve understood so far, I should connect it to the ATmega’s USART. However, I already use the USART for communicating with a PC!

Is there any simple solution? Add an external USART etc?

I’d rather not upgrade to a ATmega128 cos it’s a bit too heavyweight for this purpose :wink:

Use a software UART.

Wow, that’s what I call a fast and helpful answer.

Thanks Leon!
