+XopherN71 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 In trying to streamline my device I tried to delete my Recreational profile and somehow my Automotive one went away instead. Can someone post theirs or email it to me please? I've recreated it but not sure if that's the same as the original... if so, no need I guess. Thanks for any info/help you can provide.

+webscouter. Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 A hard reset will replace it. Hold down the two soft keys while powering on the unit. When it ask you if you want to reset all personal data you say yes. Of course you loss all the other personalizations you have made. Quote Link to comment

If you do not want to loose data do it this way create new profile call it automotive personailse it with the car tyre tracks etc job done you can make any profile you like a have a bike and sailing profile there will be no difference from a created one to original if you personalise it to suit after all you can personalise the original Edited April 13, 2008 by IvorBigun Quote Link to comment
+XopherN71 Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Thanks. I got an email with a link to an original one just in case, just wasn't sure if there was aome special coding in the OEM profiles or not. Did you know you can add your own background images? Quote Link to comment

Did you know you can add your own background images? yes seen that when you look in garmin folder you see profile folder 1st thing I tried was adding my own jpeg and renaming it to an existing one I used the Clouds bmp converted to 240 400 jpeg from my windows folder I tried a few of my windows background files I had done that with the spalsh screen on my TomTom I then tried just adding the Jpegs Using a light one such as the cloud scene or even just a plain coulered box helps solve my trip computer thing being too dark my own profile bike I use the speed and distance views I also did a jpeg of my local map that looks cool to Edited April 13, 2008 by IvorBigun Quote Link to comment

+Bazzer Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Less clutter and I have no need for a 'recreation' profile. Then what about the Marine profile? Seems silly to me since the recreational profile is useful to have should you want to hike etc, besides, the 400t has plenty of space on it and I doubt if the profile takes much of it. Profiles are one of the most useful features of the Colorado series and I use them. Are you short of space on your 400? Barry Quote Link to comment
