Hi Wayne,
To allow the various navigational equipment on a vessel to talk to each other, there is a comms protocol called NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 (National Marine Electronics Association).
This is a serial protocol from which it is possible to extract the GPS timecodes.
In a previous life I had to use this for remotely controlled road safety equipment.
I don't know about the software mentioned but I would assume by it's name and the blurb on the website (http://www.mingham-smith.com/tardis.htm) that this is one of its functions.
I hope this helps.
