Now your Tiny2.11 will tunnel UART1 from the GPS direct to the serial connector on the board. So, using the 8-pin Molex to FTDI cable adapter (or use the wireless link e.g. XBee) you can use your computer to interact with the GPS module. One example is using u-blox u-center program to configure your GPS module. Like the bootloader if you bought your Tiny2.11 assembled check with your 3rd party vendors configured your GPS. Good chance you won't need to use the tunnel or configure the GPS module.

The required cable may included with 3rd party vendors!
