USB using a com port.

For instance I have 1 serial port which is COM1, and then 4 USB which are COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5.

Go to device manager, and select your GPS device and see what com port it is listed as.

you might need a driver to create a virtual com port via the USB. The Bu-353 for instance requires that you install a driver so it can emulate a com port through the USB.

Yes the USB serial controller. Actually all USB devices that I know of require this. So as long as he did put the CD in to install using the drivers, he should have that.
