Vehicle Monitoring System with GPS and GSM - PIC18F46k22

[blackpearl87]

I'm doing a project using Picdem 2 Plus 2010 demo board to simulate a vehicle theft and accident alerting system. GPS receiver and GSM modem are being used to locate the vehicle and send a SMS to pre-determined mobile number. I'm using PIC18F46K22 micro-controller for this project.

the LCD on board is a 4-bit mode. DB4-DB7 pins of the LCD are connected to D0-D3 pins of pic controller. RS, RW, EN and PWR pins are respectively connected to D4-D7. I developed the below code, but I still can't get anything displayed on LCD.

Could anyone please highlight me what's wrong with this code?
