For a message to get from UI-View to your T2/Nuvi via RF (assuming UI-View is only Internet connected), some IGate that considers your T2 to be "recently" "local" will have to transmit it over the RF. Do you have another RF station from which you can monitor the raw APRS traffic?
In too many areas of the country, the IGates are receive-only which means they won't even gate messages from the Internet to RF. If they won't do that, your messaging will only work locally on RF from another RF station. You'll be able to send TO and Internet station FROM your Nuvi, but expect to receive many many copies as the T2/Nuvi won't get the ack back from that station either. I solved this problem by putting up my own IGate with receive AND transmit (gating only messages) capabilities. Turns out I was just in time as the other IGate took a hurricane hit and dropped his antenna from 200 feet to about 20!
