What is a NMEA file?
NMEA is a file format that contains GPS data in text form, following the standards defined by the National Marine Electronics Association. It is often used by marine and aviation GPS devices.

How to open NMEA files
NMEA files can be opened with GPS software like GPSBabel, GPS Visualizer, or Notepad-style text editors. They are readable text files made up of structured NMEA sentences.
