Al, I've been on both the sending and receiving end of this T2 "feature". I now routinely keep the Outbox open after sending a message and watch for "Sending" to change to a timestamp. If it doesn't, I do my own timeout and delete the message then. W4SGC-9 has had one in his outbox for up to 2 days with me as a recipient. I notice people driving the area, but to receive a message from them about "road closures due to marathon" (on Wickham) the whole time they're driving is a it much!
I'm all for having a firmware update for both the OT2m and T2-135 to have this one get better somehow! Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Owner of 2 Nuvi/T2-135 combinations!
