+La Paloma Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Hi Folks, I have a Garmin GPS V. (For almost 2 years.) Recently a friend had a Legend stolen (that probably ended up in a pawn shop) and as a result I am now very interested in personalizing the opening screen. Please forgive me but the forum searches I have done are a little conflicting..Some say it can't be done anymore depending on the version of Emap?? (How do I know what version of Emap I have? Please forgive my ignorance.) I found some posts as recent as August where the owners were sucessful. I have updated to GPS V software version 2.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

billsumrall Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 This is a good starting point. I did the personalized text using version 2.30 also. personalized text Bill Quote Link to comment
+elsinga Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Bill_sumrall, thank you for point the (my) GPS V FAQ out to him. I recently did it with 2.40 and without problem. But follow the FAQ, since it is a multiple step thing. -- Robert Elsinga =8-) geocaching (at) elsinga.org Quote Link to comment

ChiefPig Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 What's the worst that can happen to my V if I try to edit the firmware text and screw up? Can I just reload the original upgrade firmware in case my V stops working? Quote Link to comment

+elsinga Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Using the procedure from the FAQ page, they is almost no risk at all. I again did it to 2.50 yesterday without a problem. And yes, if everything fails, just reload the original unpatched firmware file and you're okay. -- Robert Elsinga =8-) geocaching (at) elsinga.org Quote Link to comment
+Wind Powered Pirates Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Im the one with the ripped off Legend. Dang theives! I uploaded to my new Legend the latest software to my GPS from the Garmin site. It has worked perfect each time I have done it. Also lets me personlize the info on the opening screen. I had just done that on the Legend that got ripped off. So somewhere some bonehead is using a GPS with my name on it intead of returning it to me. LOL! Quote Link to comment
