Without software? Please don't mislead the questioner. An NMEA cable,
whatever that is, is only the link between 2 devices. If you don't regularly
use this technology, leave the advice to people who do!


Any test modem program, or other text input program that can be piped
from the serial port, like Winmodem, will accept NMEA data if the bps
and parity is set correctly.

I had a computer logging both GPS and loran for several years. The
messages are human readable.

You don't need special software.

Brutal dictators are routinely reelected by 90+%
margins. Only in a truly advanced democracy can
one win an election by a negative 600,000 votes.
