Is there a "Welcome Screen" that can be edited on the Nuvi 760?

On my 76CSx there is a "Welcome Screen" that shows when you power on the device. I have it set to show my name, my phone number, and a $50 reward. I figure that, should I lose the unit, someone might be motivated to call me and return the unit in exchange for the $50. I'd gladly pay the reward.
Is there such a screen on units such as the Nuvi 760?
I don't believe so
But, you can load a JPEG with that information and tell the unit to "show at startup" by selecting it just above the pic.

Well, I was just typing that you can change your splash screen by just creating a JPG file on your computer and loading in and selecting Tools > Settings > Display, but reading the user manual for the 7xx doesn't indicate this feature.
Can someone with a 7xx confirm that it works the same as other nuvis?
Splash Screen
Nope....always get the Garmin, then a jpeg picture if you choose to have it show up.

Nope
No option to change the splash screen. The suggestion that I made earlier seems to be the only one available.

Thanks!

Excellent response. It may not be exactly what I asked about but it seems as if it would accomplish what I was after. Thanks for the reply and the advice. I'm quite pleased to have discovered this site and the helpful folks here.

This is how it works on Nüvi 750
Create a jpg picture on your computer, place it in the picture directory of the Nüvi.
On the Nüvi, go to picture viewer, select and view the picture.
On top of the screen, check the box next to "Display at power on?"
That's it. Since I use Karen's voice, I use a picture of Karen Jacobsen for my welcome screen.

Somewhere in the FOLDER
Somewhere in the FOLDER named Garmin, there is an image file that is loaded to show Garmin when the unit initially loads (before the easily assigned 2nd .jpg) ... if someone can find out where the actual "GARMIN" image file is located, it can easily be replaced in the code that runs at startup. Anyone have any suggestions?
Correct answer is above
Create your image the way you want it, mine is with my name, address and phone number. View the picture using image viewer and select show image at startup. It will display at startup just like the option says it will. My 760 displays my name and address for several seconds while loading at startup.
