Help with SB Components GPS Hat for Raspberry Pi

[armysergeant1975-beep]

Good evening. First off I will say that I am new to the pi world and the ham world as well. I have added the following gps hat for my Pi 4B: https://shop.sb-components.co.uk/collections/hats-for-raspberry-pi/products/gps-hat-for-raspberry-pi . I didn't have any issues doing the install and it looks like it is working how it is suppose to. However, when I try to pull data I get the below error message. I have done everything that I can find for troubleshooting and cant figure it out .

BTW i am orginally from Hazlehurst Mississippi.
