A lie goes around the internet before anyone ever fact checked it if it is true or not. In most cases no one ever check anything they just accept it as fact.....

A silly question from me " I got it today" a M8 gave me his 30X, said your old yellow Etrex may fail 1 day and I don't need this so do what ever, what do you need to know to answer the request to updates " he even forgot the cable" no probs have a lead and I can install Garmin express if needed. Am going away in a couple weeks, saw this post thought I'd ask FIRST like a lot of others.

eTrex 20x/30x Firmware 3.00 Published
Changes made from version 2.90 to 3.00
2019)
Improved text placement on list pages for Arabic language
Spoiler: Lastest version if you want to do it manually
The How to:
- Connect your Garmin GPSr via USB and enter Mass Storage Mode
- Download the desired firmware version for your device
- Copy the *.gcd file to [GPSr]\Garmin\*.gcd
- Rename the *.gcd file to gupdate.gcd
- Disconnect and reboot the GPSr
- When prompted by the GPSr, select 'Yes' to install the update
- Once the update has completed, the GPSr will restart and delete the gupdate.gcd file
But I would still do it via Garmin Express to play it safe if you really need it.
