Luc,

Your laptop may have a treminal program installed already, but that may
not be the easiest solution.

You have two easy choices;
GPSUtility at http://www.gpsu.co.uk/
or
http://www.gpsu.co.uk/
both have real good NMEA input screens, but you have to get one (both
can be free), install it, and then find the NMEA input screen.
