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.
