Unfortunately, the Magellan Explorist 300 has no provisions for updating
firmware or software.

With your possible loss limited to $90, it might be worth it to open the
thing up and see if has a place on the board for a USB connector (or
similar) for updates.

No need to open it up since the USB connector is accessible through the
battery compartment. There's even a commercial connector made for it
although it's not supported by Magellan. See:
