Since this seems to be custom module, maybe the standard protocols for communicating with a GPS from a computer using Serial (or virtual serial) port may not work, i.e. the FLOSS S/W gpsd is one of them may not work as expected. But anyway If your custom GPS module has RS-232 interface ,it should be trivial to interface with a PC using the custom protocol with a simple C/C++ (or any other language) program. Open /dev/ttyS0 (check on your system) and start reading.
