EDIT: To publish the data as a rostopic, you will want to use a driver such as nmea_navsat_driver which you can get from here . By reading this wiki page you'll know everything about how the gps driver publishes your gps data through rostopics, what the topic names are, and the message type used to represent that data on the topic. The latitude/longitude information by default is usually published on the /fix topic as a sensor_msgs/NavSatFix message
