I take it you mean
http://www.usglobalsat.com/p-688-bu-353-s4.aspx#images/product/large/688.jpg

I have an ancestor of this, the Globalsat BU-353, and it works just
fine with gpsd. I do not see the BU-353S4 on the gpsd hardware page,
but that may simply mean no-one has gotten around to testing it.

BTW, a report for this page would be welcome, once you get this issue
sorted out.
