The problem of resetting G.P.S. is still persisting. We are trying to figure whats wrong. With the whole telemetry setup (Post 8. Simulation to confirm the U.A.V. telemetry) our micro-controller resets the G.P.S. when we switch to the autopilot mode. We thought that this was happening as individual components on the board (like the transmitter) may also be deriving voltage from our supply and also since data had to be simultaneously sent to two programs (Happy-Killmore G.C.S. & X-Plane Demo 9), this process may also be consuming our voltage.
Therefore, we built a separate power supply for our transmitter on the testing kit. We used a 9 volt DC adapter and 7805 voltage regulator with 100 micro-farad capacitor. But we are surprised that the problem is still persisting.
We also changed the serial data transmission mode also in the options.h file of the Matrix-Pilot code (from SERIAL_NONE, SERIAL_ARDUSTATION, SERIAL_UDB to SERIAL_UDB_EXTRA) and changed the UDB Board (tried UDB3_BOARD and RED_BOARD), but there you go, no improvements.
Maybe there is something wrong with the program or maybe we are overloading our CPU. We are still checking it out.

Wow, this #UAV simulation is really testing our brains !
