Many years ago I bought a GlobalSAT BU-353 GPS receiver with USB interface. At the time of purchase the BU-353 in c.2009 was a very up-tp-date GPS receiver; in 2018 the BU-353 is a bit off the pace, but it remains a very useful device.
The GlobalSAT BU-353 uses a Prolific PL2303 USB chip. In order to use this device with a MacOS computer the proper USB driver software must be loaded. As the MacOS system has progressed in its System 10 evolution, the USB driver software from Prolific has been updated to keep pace. If an out-of-date USB driver is loaded into the MacOS 10 operating system, there may be problems. A typical problem is for the USB system to hang, which will prevent the system from shutting down. The USB driver must be updated to keep pace with the MacOS system version.
Checking for Installation
To verify you have installed the driver and it's the proper version, plug in the BU-353 to a USB port, then run the System Report (under 'About this Mac' under Apple Menu). You should find the driver as shown below:

One of my Macintosh computers is running MacOS 10.12.6, also called the SIERRA version. Without the proper USB driver, using the BU-353 GPS receiver caused the USB system to hang, and it was impossible to shut down the computer properly. An update to the driver was necessary.
