I'll be interested to hear how well that works without using the Windows GUI.
There are two different actions we're discussing. Firmware upgrades are done from the console, or a DOS 'window' in Microsoft-world. It's been a few y years since I did this but I boot the laptop from the DOS-formated flash drive which has (I think) DOS-6.x installed. Then I run the firmware .exe file with the GPS attached to another USB port. I'll check the details before doing this, of course.
Ja, from what I've read, an SD card is usually what you store the OSM map on. It's unclear whether or not you can use more than one country map (or in the USA, more than one state). If it turns out to be a big hassle to switch between the Washington state & Oregon OSM map on Garmin, then I'll probably go back to using my very out of date (~2010) Garmin map.
Map upgrades usually can be done using only the Garmin Camp GUI. And we need to pay for it. Perhaps multistate OSM maps can be put in separate diretories on the SD card and selected when the GPS is turned on. Haven't tried this, though.
