When you got yours, were they still shipping without cables? That is one of the most annoying thing I found about the eTrex yellow. The stupid proprietary serial cable connection - and the fact it didn't come with the unit and had to be bought separately. Meaning you couldn't easily transfer routes and waypoints from a PC to the GPS.

The file naming convention and location from Garmin is download.garmin.com/software/eTrex20_30_Webupdater__420.gcd (you can replace the numbers with the latest ones - the "420" that is)
- Download Firmware GCD file from Garmin
- Copy file to device \Garmin directory
- Rename file GUPDATE.GCD
- Disconnect Device from PC
- Make sure you have full battery power
- Reboot and it should confirm the firmware update
