I am trying to make a QuadPlane using ArduPilot orange cube plus, and I am short of a GPS module with a CAN port.
I have a BU-353N GPS module which, I looked up on internet, is a USB GPS module and there is no information if I can use this with the cube by removing the USB port and soldering a CAN port to it. Or maybe is there a way I can attach a CAN to USB extender and use it.
Please help if anyone has done this in past.

No, USB GPS receivers are not supported.
You can’t just arbitrarily de-solder and re-solder connectors and expect useful results.
Use something like this:
Oh I see, thank you for this information.
Also I had an idea, I am using a RPi, can I use the USB GPS on that.
If anyone has tried that.

Raspberry Pis have serial ports, so of course you could connect the GPS. But what good would that do for your autopilot?
@Yuri_Rage thank you for early reply. Sorry for my late reply.
I am connecting the RPi to Autopilot telem port in the cube. I want to run python script with the help of MAVROS on RPi. Since the GPS has USB cable and the RPi too has a USB cable, I was wondering if in any way it could bridge between the GPS and Ardupilot so I can use the GPS the normal way.
Is there any way.
