How to read data from GPS Device (TK06A)

I am a newbie into GPS application and i am stuck with one of the project. I want to read data (Lat / Long) from this GPS device (TK06A). For the time being i am using Hercules SETUP Utility bu HW-group. The data in text format is just garbage while if i convert it to HEX it appears as following

{78}{78}{0D}{01}{03}{55}{48}{80}{00}{03}{53}{63}{00}{15}{2E}{44}{0D}{0A}
{78}{78}{0D}{01}{03}{55}{48}{80}{00}{03}{53}{63}{00}{15}{2E}{44}{0D}{0A}
{78}{78}{1F}{12}{0F}{09}{17}{11}{26}{06}{C8}{01}{FD}{4D}{C0}{07}{EC}{09}
{E8}{00}{34}{71}{01}{94}{1B}{00}{BE}{00}{34}{E6}{00}{15}{35}{7C}{0D}{0A}

While the HEX data makes certain sense as per the protocol, i am unable to understand the lat / long from this. This is the link to the protocol manual as given by the vendor

Link to Protocol Manual for GPS Tracker TK06A

I have also tried to write a JAVA code to read the TCP port and print the same but again it was of no help.
