I don't know your unit, but my (black box) USB GPS is just a USB-serial

And that pl2303 is an Excedrin(TM) headache, and the only solution I've found is
to replace it with an FTDI based unit. The pl2303's are VERY fond of throwing
away the first byte of a packet, particularly when being used with a high
traffic device such as a gps.
I didn't have particular problems with the pl2303.
In any case I can't change the serial converter, as it is integrated into
the unit, not an external adapter. Linux detects the whole thing as pl2303
so I assume it is internally an adapter+serialGPS.
Best regards.
