I don't know anything really about GPS devices, but on the Linux side of things, you'll need ntpd (which is likely already installed by default). The configuration file is located in /etc/ntpd.conf .
Yes, NTP is installed by default, and the MAN pages on the configuration file explain how to use USB capable devices (In this case, I assume the GPS has a USB connection to the computer) to control the time.
