Dear Mike, have you already tried the tool 'Rectangles, Ovals, Diamonds' of the Vector geometry group in the QGIS Geoprocessing ?
The tool requires the input of points (you have one: your GPS coordinate). You may choose 'rectangle' as the desired shape and the width and height of the rectangle with 1 km. Should work. Problems may occur perhaps, if you are trying to apply the tool with a non-projected coordinate system. GPS devices often return only geographic coordinates. Maybe you should reproject your central point before applying the tool and ensure you have set a projected coordinate system with Meters as a measure unit in your QGIS project.
