Garmin Etrex Vista - entering user info

[+card4outdoors]

Same Etrex Vista (B&W) as before: I once learned the keystroke combo that would let one enter the owner's contact info into the startup screen. I forgot it, then had to send in my Vista for replacement due to screen problems. I'd like to customize the new unit the same way. Anyone know this one?

 

Thanks,

 

Bob

Main Menu-Setup-Welcome Message

Well, I wish it were that simple but there is no 'Welcome Message' option under the setup menu. This is the basic B&W Vista. I'm thinking that the sequence is connected to the startup, combining one or two other buttons with the power button. I just can't recall which ones.

It's a little hidden. Here are some screen grabs from my B&W Legend, which should have the same set-up.

 

Go to the main menu.

 

 

And select the icon to the left of the X icon at the top of the menu bar.

 

 

Select it with the click stick and the Owner info page will open.

 

 

Enter your info there, and select the "Show At Power-up" button and there you go.

Your info will be on the welcome screen. I recommend giving all the info as

shown above so someone can return it if it is ever lost.

FiveNines:

 

Thank you. I feel a little foolish for having overlooked that, but I'll get over it now that you've shed enough light on it to help me figure it out.

 

Thank you!
