Thanks Scott. I'm still a bit confused about the nuvi Favorites list of stations with the D7. They are listed in ascending order by distance from my location. They seem to continue to collect and increase as there are now over 100 after a couple of days. As you know, the D7 itself collects a list of 40 and drops the oldest.
I'm also not sure how Favorites work with the OT2 and other transceivers. I have seen screen shots with the Favorites listings, but I'm uncertain about the behavior of the data/listings. My concern is that I can't erase the list of Favorites on the nuvi 350 without also removing my custom POIs at the same time. Sorry about such a long question but I really want to understand what I can and can't do with the D7/cable/nuvi 350 vs. another rig and the OT2. Maybe others with D7s can help out here. (I would be happy to put together a summary and upload it once I understand it myself.)

You can still message on the Kenwood itself, which is tedious but doable. I've used my D7 for messaging more than anything else. Mostly for commanding T2s. Unfortunately the D7 doesn't put out any symbol or comment data, so the GTRANS doesn't have much to work with. The GTRANS could generate direction and distance information, but it'd only be updated when the waypoint (favorite) is created, which wouldn't be terribly useful if you're moving.
