I think computer stores sell cables that will have USB at your PC end and
serial connector at the other so you can use it as is or as a changeover
from serial to USB.

My Furuno GPS can be connected to a PC by a serial cable. The wiring
diagram can be viewed on the GPS itself. But: my laptop doesn't have a
serial port. Is there a way to make a USB-cable instead? (And to have some
chartplotting program recognize this)?
