Have you approached U-blox? I only have experience with using ancient Garmin devices, back in NMEA 0183 days. But I see ublox is easily Googled and has some support potential. For instance portal.u-blox.com/ shows "USB GPS Ublox7 device detection/usage on android 4 tablet"

I remember NMEA 0183 was OK to work with, it was the Garmin protocol that was horrible. I don't know NMEA 2000 at all...

Almost certainly this will appear as a standard serial port on which NMEA protocol messages will be transmitted at 10Hz (I believe on this device).

Link to UBlox 7 series gnss receivers documentation is here UBlox 7 Receiver

The NMEA message you want to decode is GGA.

Almost certainly there will also be free configuration software available from the UBlox site.

I haven't watched this but it should give you some idea of what might be involved...
