Laptop & GPS question

I'm trying to hook up a USB GPS (Globalsat BU-353) to a laptop for charting. The instructions say set the COM Port in the Device Manager. My Device Manager shows no COM Ports. Am I missing something, or is there (hopefully simple) another way to set up the GPS? And yes, I do have paper charts and know how to use them - probably better than I can use a computer ;). Thanks in advance.
