I use a GPS and NMEATime2 from VisualGPS (http://www.visualgps.net). Works great and I’m not relying on any Internet for time synchronization.
One word of caution, be sure to turn off serial enumeration for the GPS COM port (if it uses one). Otherwise, Windows will think your GPS is a mouse due to some of the strings the GPS transmits. This ancient code Microsoft has in Windows to support plug and play of serial mice (who uses serial mice anymore? - I’m not sure you can even buy one these days). I believe the setting should be off by default, but not in Microsoft’s infinite wisdom. The serial port enumeration setting is found in the advanced settings for the COM port.
