Why the harsh language, did I offend you in any way? This seems rather unreasonable.

It's a slow rollout this time

Very strange, I also had not received the update.

I will install the 5.51 because I need to report some issue from the previous betas but I had not time enough.

Installing the 5.50 I will lose the possibility to report issues.

Thank you so much, I was afraid for this, because I already install 5.51 it is difficult to install the older 5.50 ... go trying

When you download the 5.51 Beta-Zip there is also included the last Production Version 5.50. And Garmin write all about in his Install Instruction: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14955#Instruct

Installation Instructions

Connect your Edge 830 device to your computer using the micro-USB cable.
Download and unzip Edge830_551Beta.zip and place the GUPDATE.gcd file in the \Garmin folder of your device's internal storage drive.
Disconnect your device from the computer, approve the update on the Edge, and wait for the update to finish.
If you would like to revert to the last public release software, follow the above steps but place the GUPDATE-550.GCD file in the \Garmin folder. Rename the file to GUPDATE.GCD before disconnecting your device.
NOTE: If you revert to an older version of software, all of your settings will be reset to defaults.

just warning, if you install 5.50 after you already install 5.51 it will erase all your profile (including ODO)

just see the post from KD2357 to late

Other problems with this update circus!

Issue with Connect IQ into GarminExpress, when I want for example to change a field into MapDashBoard I receive an error message "communication problems with our servers" (translate from French(?))

Also, the maps have a lot lesser (or not at all) details (for sure Topo Benelux)

I am quite pissed off this is the first time I have troubles with an update !!

If you downgrade, you will reset the device. Its written in every installation guide.

Nothing to blame Garmin for.

If you are using 5.51 beta and experiencing problems, report it to the developers as told in the beta instructions.
Think about using betas if it pisses you off that you are using betas.

We stay cool !
Nowhere I blame Garmin ! I do a lot and lot update's (every Beta and all the others) I say I am pissed off because it is the first time I have troubles by updating (800,810, 820 and today 830). Your post is probably justified but it does not resolve the problems I expose (even if it is my fault) ,

I do several hard resets (why not ? I have lost all my settings and data :) ) and stay now on 5.50.
Still I can not change the fields into MapDashBoard with Garmin Express/connect IQ , and Topo Benelux have only the streets to display into the second (gravel) profile (same with the other maps) , strange enough the details are correct with the Road profile (the first).

Nobody else with these issues ?
