Does this need to work in real time or on logged data?
If you log the nmea data then upload it to http://www.h-schmidt.net/NMEA/ that site will convert it to google earth format.
Or if you want to use a program not a web page then take a look at http://www.claudegps.altervista.org/?page_id=11&lang=en-us
(Total time to find both, 20 seconds on google
If you need to do it in real time then that’s both easier and harder. Google earth has the option to take a real time nmea input (tools->gps) but needs an internet connection to work. You could set it’s cache size to something huge, view the area you want with an internet connection and then disconnect the internet. That may work.
