[...] Not much to write about here, but Garmin has just posted a 3.01 Oregon beta with a fix for the shutdown failures introduced in 2.99. The problems were severe enough in 2.99 that we recommended Oregon users [...]

3.01 Beta released 7-1-2009. So much for 3.0 being final.

The Whereigo function isn’t any better either. Locked up over and over where my Colorado 300 worked fine.
This release is a big dissapointment.

Stick with 2.98 for now. It has lots of miles on it and the GPS accuracy is about as good as any release available right now.

I downloaded the 2.99 update for my Oregon 300, before I checked here. Now I see that 2.8 is better, than 2.98 that I replaced it with, where it concerns accuracy. I’m really getting confused.

In term of positioning accuracy in Yosemite Valley which is considered tough terrarin for GPS receivers, I do find out Colorado 300 (2.8?) is doing better job than Oregon 200 (2.98) after comparing the track logs of both on Upper Yosemiet Fall Trail. Oregon 200 jumped more seriously as matther of fact.

I just returned from the Yosemite Valley trip and found the elevation profile reading in my Oregon 200 witn 2.98 was total in error. It reported more than 8,000 feet in elevation gain but was actually only 4,200 feet. I do hope 2.99 fixes the issue. Will go back to Yosemite later this week to check it out.
