GPS for West Marine AIS B transponder

I am about to install mine.
It will be very easy, since it replaces an AIS receiver , so power, computer connect wiring and VHF antenna are all there. However, connecting the GPS supplied will be time consuming.
Does anyone know if a normal NMEA GPS signal cann be connected to this unit.
West is no help, becasue such a connection would non-compliant with the AIS-B standards.
I do not care, as long as it works.
