+K7CJS Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I've lost my setup icon on the home screen and can't find it. Can you help me get it back? Quote Link to comment
+K7CJS Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 So far my only solution is to put a shortcut on the main menu that goes to setup. still can't find the original setup on the main menu. Quote Link to comment
+lee737 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Reset all settings, then re-configure? I do this a lot, seems to keep my unit more stable.... was a painful process at first resetting my settings, but once you've done it 25 times is pretty quick! Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Have you tried to "swipe" the screen it was on? I've accidentally moved an icon to the next screen a few times (even last week "waypoint manager" on my main screen was moved accidentally). BTW, if you want to quickly restore any settings changed in your profiles, backup your profiles to your computer. When you mess things up, just put them back. You can also do this in the field if you copy your profile, for instance, geocaching to geocaching2 on a computer and save the second one to your GPS again. In case of trouble, switch profile in seconds to have your settings back. Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I've lost my setup icon on the home screen and can't find it. Can you help me get it back? Your setup icon is very likely still available, just on a different screen now. It's easy to move them. Watch this video for info on how to place and move icons: As on4bam mentioned, Profiles are easy to work with. Make backups of Profiles and all other files once you have them set as you like, and it's simple to restore one if it gets messed up. Garmin Support may give you a clean Profile, if you ask them. Or post the offending ".gpf" Profile file, or email it to me, and I'll take a look at it. Edited April 28, 2017 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+K7CJS Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks everyone. I got my Profile backed up but not ready to reset....scary, lol. No second screen to swipe to. Still wondering were that little icon is hiding. Edited April 28, 2017 by K7CJS Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I guess the icon was on your main screen? If it was, there's now an empty space where the icon was. Put your finger on the screen and move it to the left, if that's where the icon is you should see it pop up on the new screen. That's where my icons hide when I see one is missing Quote Link to comment

Still wondering were that little icon is hiding. It really isn't scary (anymore!) - it won't wipe your waypoints unless you select that option..... After you reset, its like a new unit, select language, then work your way through the settings menus making changes to your desires (surprisingly few). Setting up the main menu takes the longest... but still only a few minutes.... Quote Link to comment

I've got it all setup the way I like it and backed up so I'll wait until the next "aargh" moment to reset it. Thanks for the confidence that I'll be ok when I do reset it, lol. Quote Link to comment
