OK, new scripts have been created, I can now get the screen set up the way I want. All I have to do now is to read in the file and separate the data into the variables. I'm getting there, but slowly.
{"age":6357,"latitude":"38.1234","longitude":"-80.1234","elevation":"1234.5","course":"12.34","speed":"N"}
needs to be split so that I get back
lat="38.1234"
lon="-80.1234"
elv="1234.5"
cou="12.34"
spd="N"
