Software 2.96 (beta)

Not recommended unless you want to get access to some of the new features. There have been a number of stability issues in this release including:

•Map page will freeze and display all white while autorouting in City Navigator. Power cycle (sometimes battery pull) required.
•POI searches using spell search "ABC" frequently hang (spinning hourglass). Battery pull required.
•All installed maps become enabled in a profile.
•Switches between profiles sometimes appear hung (spinning hourglass) but actually happen.

Same GPS software (2.80) as 2.94 and 2.95 so don't expect much improvement in WAAS or GPS accuracy for this release


the new features for me is very superb, but i also face the same issue.. anyone know how to revert back to 2.96?

Hai all,
I'm with GPS and just own my Oregon 300. So hopefully you guys can understand if I ask a silly question. I need a GPS because I'm doing Adventure Photography and I need something good in the wood. So far Oregon was good reception in the jungle. I just want to ask, how can I view my save waypoint coordinates in my Oregon?
