Well, since you're an official beta tester, you should bug report the
non-appearance of your update problem to Garmin.

>What it DOES show is that I am a beta software tester so I have the BETA software as a test engineer (though they haven't asked me about it). That means that MY software is NOT the last Garmin update at all but a newer version 

No such thing as a beta tester masquerading as a test engineer and
it's not YOUR software.

Perhaps it would help if you read something about how the beta test
program actually works.  Then, you can adjust your assertions to be
more aligned with reality:
