I am running Mac OSX 10.6.2 I used WebUpdater for the Mac and I was able to update from 3.42 beta to 3.50. However, in the process I lost all of the custom settings I made to my Oregon 300. I have since reinstalled my custom settings. EDIT: Correction, I did not lose my custom profile settings.
After the firmware update, the 300 reverted to the Garmin Recreational profile. I simply changed from the default Recreational setting to my custom profile setting. EDIT#2: The magenta 'goto' line no longer appears. Suggestion: This is a faulty firmware update, do not upgrade to version 3.50! Question: How does Garmin test their firmware updates? Answer: By using the Groundspeak forum!

My suggestion: Hold off on the update until Garmin fixes the glitch FWIW, none of my custom settings (at least that I can tell) were affected when I updated my 550t using WebUpdater for Windows. Of course, this is a different file than used for the 300, so YMMV.

My suggestion: Hold off on the update until Garmin fixes the glitch I think the problem may occur with devices that are being upgraded from a beta release. Question for larryc43230 and eaparks: What was firmware version from which you upgraded? I too updated from beta 3.42 (via updater) and noticed the magenta GoTo line went missing! Tried navigating to a geocache and no line!
I went back to 3.42 beta. I also noticed the custom settings went back to default but didn't pay attention to whether it was going to 3.50 or back to 3.42.
