Un-block Waiting For UART Data & Added NMEA Info

• Added a check to make sure the number of bytes in the input buffer was at least 64, so the module doesn't block while waiting for bytes in the buffer.
• Added an explanation of NMEA 0183 and the different formats in which the data is transmitted to the microcontroller from the GPS.
