May I jump in?
Be careful with this unit, it is now 8 years old technology and obviously more power hungry than more resent GPS chips! This means you will definitely need a powered USB HUB in between as the rpi2 lacks juice for powering the puck. Academically you will have a nice learning experience but practically I would not bother and get the lowcost GPS stick from sailoog. It works, is affordable and gives a positive encouragement to the small OP development team.
so far my 2cent - hope you dont mind.
