OK, I have the same GPS and neither my laptop (linux Mint) or my Rpi don't see it. What did you do.
I have found another issue when I "try" to use the [ U-Blox AG ] or the U-Blox dongle... It was working on my RPi, then I made changes. I went from a metal case (enclosed) to a RPi "stack". The SSB "shield", 12V to 5V Hat with Fan, and the overclocking must be producing enough RFI to "kill" the GPS even the one on the 2M USB cord. I can move the GPS(s) to my laptop and they work... Back into the case??
Now, maybe the BU-353S4 will be more RFI proof??? Help...

On my V3 installation, conky shows
You see that there is no gridsquare listed.? I recall when reading about conky, that it gets this from the GPS.
I did have some trouble getting Pi to recognize my GPS, which is a BU-353S4 on a USB port.? I think it is resolved now.
When I run
$ cgps
I get a display showing the GPS information to confirm it is working. The display includes the gridsquare.
How do I get conky to show the gridsquare?
