yes, for a fact it has helped. up until i downgraded the ft firmware in the nuvi i've been unable to hold a connection more than a few seconds at a time. the first attempt after the downgrade it held the connection for 30 minutes with only one brief disconnect.

funny thing is, i have a small gps receiver with no controls (navbrite?) which i got to use with google maps on the curve and it seems to work perfectly. that's why i say that i think garmin and rim have to talk to each other because some protocol used between their units is going haywire.
