Exactly the same issue I had. Use GPSTweak to switch the GPS into nmea mode.

I just went through a similar thing with TT5 and a BT338. TT5 seems to require an nmea stream, nort sirf. Try the GPStweak program to set the GPS in the right mode

Thanks,
Found SirfDemo, but the usb BT dongle on my PC gives it ports of 18 and 22. SirfDemo only allows you serial ports of 1-12. I will try it on my laptop at home later.
Just beware about the ... |

GPS Output Data NMEA 0183 protocol, and supports command:
GGA(1sec), GSA(1 sec), GSV(5 sec), RMC(1sec)
( VTG and GLL are optional)

Having read the thread below, I don't hold out much hope - sounds like TT have done a microsoft on us and we are the bug finders.
