Maybe the Nuvi has gotten in some strange mode. Power the Nuvi off. Remove the serial cable from the Nuvi, Turn the Nuvi on. You should get a warning in the top right corner that has a circle/red x over a USB cable. When you touch it you should get a message that says "Communications device is not responding. Please check connections". If you are not getting this message the Nuvi does not know it is in Fleet Management mode. Try resetting it to defaults (you will probably lose all your wapoints, etc.) and connect it back to the T2 and see if the T2 can get it into FM mode. If you are not getting that message, afer connecting the T2, then the two units are communicating at some level. Then the trick will be to see if the T2 is not sending the data or the Nuvi is not receiving it.

Do you get responses to "--xxx" commands, or not? If not, then either the physical layer link is broken between the T2 and the nuvi, the T2 is not receiving or responding to commands, or the Nuvi is not sending commands or receiving responses. Clear all or some of the waypoints out of the Nuvi (pick local digis or things you know will get updated and see if they come back. That will establish whether the physical link is working or not. If you are getting responses to "--xxx" commands, or if the waypoints are getting restored, then either the Nuvi is not sending commands or receiving responses or the T2 is not receiving the commands or sending responses.. Make sure the port you are using on the T2 is still set to "Garmin". To do this you may have to put a PC on the other port. Since the cable is made for port 1 and the default for Port 2 is "Flow" if you didn't change port 2 to "Auto" you may not be able to communicate with the T2 using a PC without resetting the T2 to defaults. I haven't had mine long enough to know how to tell you to do that. It may still come down to putting another RS-232 terminal on the line to the Nuvi from the T2 to verify that it is sending the messages in proper format.
