That is one way to do it.  Also there is gpsctl.  gpsctl is more mature,
ubxtool is new.  ubxtool is only if you have a u-blox.

Once again: what is your GPS?

Once again: pretty hard to help you when you provide no details.

Maybe, maybe not.  You can always use the NMEA 0183.

Very rarely do you need to configure a GPS.

If you want to see why your the factory defaults are usually best,
then you need driver support for your GPS in gpsd.

No.  Many ways to skin that cat.  You could do it like zerk or like
gpsctl.  Or some other way, like using u-center under Wine.  Many folks
just send a text file of GPS commands to the GPS, then start gpsd.

Configuration should be the last thing to worry about.  You need a
driver first.
