The eTrex has a serial output, which of course my laptop didn't have, so I
bought a serial to usb cable - if anyone needs to know which one works I'll
check it out. The gps can be set to output from a list of formats. If
garmin is an option, use that as it seems to be best-known and reliable.
IIRC the command I used was
gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/ttyUSB0 -o gpx -F track1.gpx
