Arduino Programming

Hi, I have a functional gps code that gets and displays the correct date, time, speed and distance. It uses the softwareSerial library. I am currently able to display the date, time, speed and distance on my nokia 5110 LCD without any problems.

I am also trying to incorporate a pulse sensor to monitor heart rate into my system. I got the pulse sensor from pulsesensor.com. It comes with its own source code. Running this code works fine and i am also able to display it on my lcd screen.

SO...Heres is the problem.

I want to combine both codes and display all values gotten from gps and pulse sensor on the screen at the same time. Or at least use a push button to switch been the codes(if thats possible). I have done rigorous research on this and and i've figured out that the problem comes form a collision between the SoftwareSerial library of the gps and the "interrupt" from the pulse sensor.

Can they be combined? if so i need some assistance, thank you.

I have an arduino Uno. I also have an arduino Mega.

I was able to combine both codes without any problems. After i combine it, The pulse sensor works but the gps values do not show on the screen.. However when i comment out the interruptSetup(), the the pulse sensor values stop showing on the screen and the GPS starts to show again.
