David,
No, only connect the GPS receiver to the PC. I have not tried this myself, but may do to see what happens.

I think you must mean connect the TT3 and GPS combo together to UIView, this way I can power the GPS from the  Gel cell. Is that what you meant?

I changed the configuration to allow TTL send, and the lights flashed in the correct fashion, but still no solid green light. The J7 jumper is configured for 5Volts which is correct for the GPS I am using.
