Author StreetPilot 2820 / DST Update / on-map traffic gone / bluetooth phone screwed up

Since updating my StreetPilot 2820 with the latest (v4.0) software my
traffic (XM/Navtraffic) and bluetooth phone have been screwed up.

Bluetooth phone: All it does now is connect -> disconnect -> repeat
I've removed the bluetooth device, readded - same results.
Right now I just have my phone not linked to the GPS.

The on-screen traffic used to be great. I could look at the map where I was
traveling and see, on the map, traffic conditions (road highlights of
red/yellow/green) and incidents (icons overlayed on the map). I still get
the info delivered via XM as if I go to Menu->Tools->Traffic I see the list
of incidents and if I click on the Traffic Map button on that screen I get
an overview of the traffic conditions in my area (it's no the same as the
highlighted traffic on the regular map).

Oh, I've also noticed that a setting that used to be there
(Menu->Settings->Map->Zoom Details->Traffic, I think it was) is now gone.

Has anyone else experienced this or have some fix or information from
Garmin?

I filled out their web-support form and got some generic answer that really
said nothing.

If only I had just set DST manually via the menus and left well-enough alone
everything would still be working. I hate it when updates make things worse
than they were.

Thanks,
Brad
