[SOLVED] Issue with char array, contains garbage

I'm trying to run one of examples delivered by Raspberry for Raspberry Pi Pico. It is an example to read data from GPS module via I2C. Raw data from GPS should be stored in a variable char numcommand[max_read], but instead of data from GPS, there is some garbage. Here is the full code:

Any suggestions what's wrong?
