I am not familiar with this device, but a look at the manufacturer's web site shows that it uses Prolific PL 2303 chipset to communicate with a computer.
Generally, for devices using PL 2303 you should be able to use original Prolific drivers as found here: http://www.prolific.com.tw/eng/downloads.asp?ID=31
With this driver, GPS would appear as a serial device, such as /dev/tty.usbserial. If this GPS provides NMEA 0183 output, it should then work with PolarCOM.
