I have a small collection of Garmin GPS devices that I really like to use. I've bought all of them used over the years, mostly at thrift stores for ~$5.00 each. I think using WINE to upgrade the firmware carries a risk of bricking them. Your best bet is to install Windows on bare metal & use that to update the firmware. On a related note, I'd like to try installing Openstreetmap on my Garmin 1350, if I can find good instructions on how to do that. That's the only way to keep most of their maps updated without paying Garmin some crazy amount of $ each time you update the map.
