Nuvi 310 Splash Screen customisation

 

Hi Guys,
sorry I've not been here for very long time, but one of the things I learnt from you clever fellows was how to personalise the splash screen on my Nuvi 310. (I put my name and address on mine).

As I have moved house I would like to change the screen on my Nuvi, but I've racked my brains, googled my fingers off and I can't figure out how I did it.

If anyone out there can remember how to do it, I would be very pleased to hear from you.

Check page 42 of the owners manual:

or just go to Settings/Display/Splash Screen.

From the manual, it appears that you need to create a jpg image with the text, then copy the file from your computer to the nuvi. Hmmm, you could include a recent selfie in the image. twisted The jpg file can go to the nuvi itself or an SD card if one is installed.

Hi Craig, Thanks for the

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the info.
I'll let you know how I get on.

Hi again, I went to the

Hi again,
I went to the Splash Screen settings page first, but it's just a screen with 9 empty boxes.

I then looked at the manual (thanks for the link), but it doesn't seem to tell me where to put the .jpg or any clues as to possible size restrictions.

There is a directory on the Nuvi called JPEG but that just has a database file in it (which I can't open).

I'm going to copy a few jpgs into that directory and see what happens.

JPEGS work in the Nuvi Splash Screen.

Great stuff,
I popped a few jpgs (which I reduced in size to 3" x 3" in Paint Shop Pro) into the JPEG folder and they magically appeared in the Splash Screen setting page on the Nuvi smile

So all good now, many thanks for your help.

Out of curiosity

Why would you want your name and address on the splash-screen when many users, including myself, don't even set the "Home" waypoint at their actual location.
In your case it just begs for a home invasion or break-in!

I'm glad you got it to work. From what I read in the manual, it wasn't clear where the file should go.
