Question about converting RS232 to TTL

I needed to connect a Garmin GPS 18x to a VEX Cortex's UART port, but I discovered that I would first need to convert the GPSs RS-232 signal to a TTL signal for the UART. I found this board and was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is what I need: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11189

Also, could someone help me figure out which wire would go where on the board? The datasheet that Sparkfun provides isn't specifically for this board and the labels aren't very specific.
