thanks for reporting

Congratulations to Catymag and administrators for their sincerity, goodwill and excellent volunteer work... Great Forum!

thanks, I cant check Oregon files coz I dont have it, but that poster was reliable, I'm sure he'll post the right file as soon he realizes the error, stay tuned

Oregon 4.50 Patched, tested and ok, here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

(For beginners: 1. Certifique that has batteries recharged and be sure have installed a different version of the original 4.50 , 2. Rename the file gupdate.exe in the Garmin folder of memory card, 3. Copy the gupdate.exe patched to the same folder and reboot the gps, 4. Wait for the upgrade, set the parameters and retune the satellites. If update is ok, in Setup / About will display "Patched Version 4.50" and home made JNX files works.. (to return the previous version of firmware, delete the patched gupdate.exe and rename the file of item 2 to its original name: gupdate.exe)

@angelozip

Thank you for your answer.

My feedback
I tried this patched firmware 3.00
No problem to install.
But so far it behaves like the original one and appears to be like the original in "about". Impossible to use the JNX of my Colorado. Impossible to download something from BaseCamp except a small demo.

Motzkus, you're sure to have a previous version installed other than 3.00? If yes, we can say that the version posted was not changed. Anyway now you have to go back to previous version non beta (2.80). Already with a lower version installed (instructions above) try this new option for the link: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (updated in post 38)
