Not with bluetooth, but the usb connection Garmin supplies.

I use Franson GPSGate to map the usb input to virtual com2. Next you 
have to activate the GPS tracking (which is not found in the GPS tools 
plugin) with View -> Panels -> [x] GPS Information

In the Toolbox, click on Connect for automatic connection, or select 
manually the Com-port you assigned at Fransons Gate.

If you have a suitable map and good reception, a marker should appear at 
the right place.
