    Your GPS receiver outputs its data through a BNC port? Are you positive the BNC is not for antenna connection?

    It's probably a 'GPS Antenna' that he wants to plug into a USB port. I think it's technically impossible because while all the software is there with a USB interface you need more hardware than just the antenna to decode the GPS signal?
