There are a number of eTrex models, so if you can be more specific about the model (if not, a detailed description of the cable), we'd have somewhere to start. A real vanilla (no other letters or names) goldie oldie eTrex uses a serial cable. Recent stuff uses USB. You can see where that puts us...

I use GSAK to download to my old Legend (serial). No problem.

See Downloading GPX/LOC Files (link) for software suggestions.
