There's a newer nuvi firmware build available - you might start there. Also, I'd stick with only one port in Garmin mode at a time. It will probably work with both, but any extraneous traffic on the other port might cause problems.
Baud rate settings are ignored in Garmin mode, so that's not the problem. I'd make sure you've got the profile switching options disabled - if it's switching constantly, it'll be clearing some internal state and won't ever get valid data.
