Mission:2/3 ... completed. Must terminate 1/3 & 3/3, then Mission Complete...

As the title says 2/3 of the Step is complete.Now I shall tell you how I made my leg move up 2/3 of the way. 1/3 of the way was I first tried the file on nxtasy known as gps_master_1_04 which kept showing error then I researched more and found a file known as GPS.rbt from thenxtstep which gave me Denmark
Finally, I thought I should try the new version of gps_master which is gps_master_3 but that is also reporting an error.So if anyone has a different solution please put it in the comments section.2/3 was logical thinking that I thought of was that it could navigate itself by being perfect by giving every thousandth decimal the compass sensor could tell the direction to that coordinate and move what ever is necessary.

BrixCC and The Day of Walking Up the Step

The day had come to walk up the STEP!!!Please remain in a calm order, this will be over soon.This day has only 1/3 categories. To accomplish walking up the STEP without falling,the 1/3 of the step and will fall if not executed properly.I downloaded a nxc file from a post on nxtasy.org called GPS and NXT which is a file that a GPS that is paired bluetoothly to the NXT gives lat and long which is displayed on a NXT Screen.For the 2/3 of the STEP is giving these coordinates to the compass sensor and using that to transport/navigate itself. The 3/3 is getting the light sensor to detect the curb line to center itself on a lane,the Ultrasonic Sensor to detect objects and stop or horn and to get the touch sensors working as bumpers and the Acceleration sensor to detect incline and adjust speed.
