GPS Warn

 

I am wondering if anyone here has tried GPS Warn?

http://www.milvang.no/gps/gpswarn.html

I was thinking that it might be handy to enter my name and address in the start-up sequence.

Will it work on a C550?

Will it work on a Garmin C550 or only the gps's listed? I get a different warning on my C550.

An Alternative To GPS Warn

You might want to check out Garmin XImage.

http://www.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=545#In...

It allows you to replace your splash page with any picture the same size. You could print out your owner info in any kind of format, then make a jpeg of it using any of the snapshot utilities. (like snagit). you can then replace the Garmin boot up page with your own jpeg. Mine has my name & picture of the car. I use it on my SP 7200, but it works on a whole bunch of Garmins.

It's a free download, with NO SUPPORT.

Will that work on my

Will that work on my StreetPilot i3. I don't want to mess up anything.

Warning page replacement

While I love the ability to change my splash page, it would be nice to be able to change out the warning page, also. I am tired of see the warning page every time I turn on the unit.

Can someone with a bit of knowledge here tell us if this will work on our units and if so, which ones?

Splash Screen

I used Ximage and got my splash page just fine. Then I added some text to it and notice it changed size. Well, that is where the problem has come in. Try as I might, I can not find an easy way to get the size back to where it was so I can put it back into my C340. Any quick fixes for re-sizing?

The splash screen is a bmp

The splash screen is a bmp file that is 320 pixels wide and 240 pixels high. Any custom screens should be created with those dimensions and in a bmp format. I used Photoshop to create my own custom screen and had no problem with screen size changes. I should warn that those dimensions were for my C340 so if other units have different sizes you should check the original first. I downloaded the original splash using XImage and then looked at its properties before starting my own.
