Frustrating every time

The Bluetooth connection drops in and out from my Nüvi 2699 with my IPhone 6+ resting in the passenger seat when using the Smart Link app. Every other time I use the app, I have to forget device in Bluetooth settings then re-pair to get data to flow correctly. When it works it shows temperature and the generic weather app. I bought the $4.99 Weather Alerts option which (when connection is working) shows an alert icon in the upper right corner of the GPS. Also you need to keep open the app on the phone and open the Weather Alerts section inside the app. To see the radar map on the GPS you have to go to the main menu, select Apps, scroll down to Smart Link, open, select device (iPhone), then select Advanced Weather...which is a pain in the wazoo while driving or otherwise. Good concept, poor execution.
