Montana Icons
Install Icon
- Copy your new custom Montana icon to the [Montana]\Garmin directory.
-
Copy your custom µSD Card icon to the [µSD]\Garmin directory.
Enable Icon
- Connect your Montana and enter USB Mass Storage Mode
-
Navigate to the root directory of your Montana GPSr
-
Open autorun.inf with Notepad (or Notepad++)
The default autorun.inf file should look similar to this:
[autorun]
icon=Garmin\Garmintriangletm.ico
action=Garmin Montana 650
label=Garmin Montana 650
Modify the second line to reflect the name and location of the custom icon you copied to your Montana. For example, if we placed an icon named Montana650.ico in the [Montana]\Garmin directory, we would make the following modification:
[autorun]
icon=Garmin\Montana650.ico
action=Garmin Montana 650
label=Garmin Montana 650
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
To do the same for the µSD Card, place the Montana650SD.ico in the [µSD]\Garmin\ directory and the autorun.inf file to the root directory of your µSD Card, and make similar edits:
[autorun]
icon=Garmin\Montana650SD.ico
action=Garmin Montana 650
label=Garmin Montana 650
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Change Device Name
Want to change the name of your device in Windows Explorer? If we wanted our Montana to appear as 'M 650' in windows explorer, we would make the following edit:
[autorun]
icon=Garmin\Montana650.ico
action=Garmin Montana 650
label=M 650
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Similarly, we can make the following edit to the autorun.inf file on the Montana µSD card:
[autorun]
icon=Garmin\Montana650SD.ico
action=Garmin Montana 650
label=M 650 SD
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
