My immediate thought would be GPSbabel ... http://www.gpsbabel.org/

Have you tried this already? It seems to handle most Garmin formats, and I imagine the serial/USB protocol would be the same for all models ....

So you might do something like this for Windows
	gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f com1 -o gpx -F output.gpx

Or in linux:
	gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyS0 -o gpx -F output.gpx

You might have to try a few different formats (ie, change the bit after -i) and you'd have to know the port the unit is connected to ( com1 or /dev/ttyS0 )
