VisualGPS
VisualGPS is a simple Windows utility that will read and interpret the NMEA strings that the GPS in the TM1000A generates. Using a straight through serial port allows viewing of all satellites that are locked at a given time, location, and other GPS debug information.
NTPTool
NTPTool is a simple Windows utility that can be pointed at a time server and used to query the current time using the NTP protocol. Simply enter the IP address of the server and request the information. A great tool verifying the setup of a new time server installation.
TimeSync
Updating a Windows PC from an NTP server is somewhat limited by W32Time, which is part of the Windows system. There are some other excellent time update clients out there, but one we have had good luck with is NetTime. It allows for multiple servers and a nice simple GUI setup of the basic parameters. It can be found at: http://www.timesynctool.com/

One useful feature of the NetTime utility is that it makes it simple to use a Windows based computer as an internal network time source. The NetTime software is a good simple server than can be easily setup to serve NTP time and keep itself synced to multiple internet sources. Usually the Windows firewall will require an Inbound rule for UDP on port 123, to make this work seamlessly. Syncing clocks to this internal server can eliminate a lot of variables in keeping clocks running smoothly.
