Scott, Thanks for the quick reply. I have profile switching disabled. At least I hope it is disabled. Snapshot: http://www.w2lie.net/misc_files/OT2m_Profile_Switch.JPG
Currently - in both profiles.. Port A is auto, port B is Garmin And I am not using the Y splitter, so the only activity on the serial port should be the FMI on Port B. I will update the Nuvi and report back tomorrow. Thanks again for the quick reply. --- In [email protected], Scott Miller <sc...@...> wrote: > > 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.
