I am a proud owner of an Garmin etrex 30. Since I do run Linux on all my machines at home, I tried several ways to update the firmware of this device. Unfortunately this is not possible, using WebUpdater from garmin directly. A tool which should make it easy (and most probably it does on windows and/or mac) makes it hard to do on Linux.
