How can I customize the bootup screens?

The Magellan 315 (and some competing units today) had a screen to allow you to personalize the boot screen to enter your name or contact information in order to help increase the odds of you getting it back if you lost it. Oddly, Magellan didn’t bring that option forward into their mapping handhelds. There is a utility that will modify your firmware to change the “lawyer screen” to text of your choosing. http://www.navicache.com/freeware. This has to be done for every firmware update. Another option, if you use Topo or Streets & Destinations, is to replace the “Woodall” screen. Edit \ProgramFiles\Magellan\MapSend Topo\map\export.cfg and replace the text in the [COPYRIGHT] section with your contact information. Up to eight lines are supported. Now the next time you upload a detail map, that text will change. Explorist allows you to customize the boot screen from the keypad.
