Is it possible to look at a GPS on a computer.

If I had a GPS in my car, could I use a computer to look at where said GPS is? We are assuming that the GPS is transmitting a signal to the computer. However, would the microwave signals the GPS uses to communicate with satellites work with computers? Basically, can I be looking at my computer screen and seeing the location of a device with a GPS on my screen, whether it be 20 feet away or 20 miles? Thanks in advance for the answer.
