+fendermallot Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 How do you get a photograph to load as a background? I've cut a photo down to 240x400. I put it in with all the other background files. Am I missing something? I downloaded all the files from gpsfix.com and they show up just fine. Maybe my photo is a bit shorter than the 400 pixels high. Would that do it? Quote Link to comment
+TheSurfcaster Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Make sure you are saving your picture as a "JPEG". Quote Link to comment

There is a limit of 25 .jpg files that will be recognized in the "dir:\Garmin\Profiles" folder as backgrounds; at least this was the case with earlier software versions and I've never seen where it was increased. This may be your problem why your picture is not appearing even though it is in the Profiles folder; move some backgrounds.jpg that you won't use to your PC. Quote Link to comment
