I didn't use NMEA, but the SiRF binary protocol. We also needed only the coordinates and the code to retrieve those was fairly trivial to write. I suppose that for NMEA it's even simpler, and you should find a good deal of examples on the net (as an hint, try to look at gpsd sources, AFAIK it should handle also NMEA). At the time I wrote a serial communication abstraction layer, so that the code to handle the GPS was OS independent. I guess you could do the same, writing and debugging the code on your development platform of choince (Unix, Win, ...) and then rewriting only the serial port handling backend.
