What type of GPS device do you have?

Look at the NMEA driver, #20

If you can setup your box to send $GPRMC messages every second
or few, the rest should be easy.

The $GPGLL messages do have a time time stamp.  It should work if you
say something like "ttl 4" on your server line.  (The documentation
needs updating.)

The PPS signal is a separate wire, usually connected to DCD,
maybe requiring some external level shifting.
