Bro Tichuan,

You will need to use the 400t update file instead of the 300. It will work as well and there is some error with the 300 file.

No wonder the hourglass keep spining info from garmin oregon wiki

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
