If you can get oDDELink working with the PIC as the master and the
OOPic as the slave, your life is simplified. The PIC just stuffs
updated values into known locations of the OOPic memory as though it
is an EEPROM. You probably need some kind of handshaking (via a flag
variable) so that the OOPic doesn't grab an updated Lat while the Lo
is stale.

I would try using the I2C Tools to see how it works and then write
the same functions for the PIC.
