did do the reset thing, it appears to be in fleet mode. Going to do more
Checking, Thanks

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.

Checked my settings, appear to be ok, Nuvi in not responding to
anything sent to it now, was thinking might be a defective cable, since I
don't have another, I can't check it, and it appears that Scott is sold out.

I'm not sure what the response, if any to "--xxx"
messages is, as your post is not clear. 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.
Good luck,

My Nuvi appears to have developed a problem receving
messages, it was working ok, but now when I send a test message to it,
nothing is received, and when I use the --Version test, it will only receive
it when I reboot the Nuvi, it appears to be showing other stations on the
map, I have sent some test messages to KC0WNY-15, it does not receive them ,
any thoughts on what the matter is?
