shabbasuraj Posted September 4, 2002 Posted September 4, 2002 Hey check this out... I tried it and it works great... Simply follow the instructions for a personalized startup message for select Garmin units... a great way to put a "REWARD if found" message at the startup screens... http://www.milvang.no/gps/gpswarn.html please share your thoughts about the software here....

Cache Canucks Posted October 11, 2002 Posted October 11, 2002 Garmin's latest firmware release for the Vista (v2.40) incorporates a user defined 'Owner's Page': View this forum... Quote
shabbasuraj Posted October 11, 2002 Author Posted October 11, 2002 Ye the personalization is really nice, but too bad it is not password protected, but then again some might not care. Altering firmware is still a little more permanent. I have always wished users had an option to password protect the entire unit. That would certainly thwart many who did not know much about GPSr's. Or just not allow others access to any sensitive info saved on the unit... ...this way your wife can't find out your tracks you saved on the golfing green, when you originally told her you were volunteering at the orphanage all weekend long.... hhaahahahahhaaaaaaaaa.... I dunno... perhaps this may be useful... lates... Quote

shabbasuraj Posted October 16, 2002 Author Posted October 16, 2002 dadgum, thanks for reminding me, better delete those waypoints too.... hahahhaahaaaaa.... lates.... Quote
+Baston Posted October 24, 2002 Posted October 24, 2002 Has anyone tried it with an eMap? Nevermind, I just read the FAQ. It will not work on the eMap. Baston [This message was edited by Baston on October 24, 2002 at 11:19 AM.] Quote
+Solar Max Posted December 8, 2002 Posted December 8, 2002 Sigh, it does work on a Legend, ver 2.41, but NOT my Legend with ver 2.50. I guess I should have done the startup screen, then updated the software. It does state, however, to do the upgrade first. Any Legend owners, go with 2.41, do the screen , then upgrade, and hope that doesn't wipe out your new startup. If I ain't sweatin', I ain't cachin. Are we there yet? Quote
Curious George Posted December 8, 2002 Posted December 8, 2002 Worked fine on my Venture - hey Mariner, glad to hear you're back in business. Quote

To enter owner data, select “Owner Information” option from the main menu page’s option menu. This would seem to supercede the need for the GpsWarn program. Tony Quote
shabbasuraj Posted December 18, 2002 Author Posted December 18, 2002 only diff is that these type of programs cannot be easily altered by casual obseervers, as these programs alter the firmware, and are not just "settings"... thus providing a method of personalization that is somewhat more permanent.... aside from that they are the same... lates...

Janik Posted January 17, 2003 Posted January 17, 2003 I have a GPS 72, it is the same family as GPS 76, would it work with it??? Sounds very cool! Quote
