I thought it depended on which version of receiver you have, since the older ones use Rockwell instead of NMEA.

So, you would have to check what version/what the GPS is outputing language wise, and then we could tell you. If it is outputing NMEA, you are good to go with almost any SW. If it is Rockwell, you could get this and then use any SW.
