Startup Message

Can you edit a simple text file in Notepad? (try notepad++) If so, you can create a custom start up message to be displayed on the Montana splash screen during the boot process. The length of the message is limited to five lines of text. Each line will be centered on the screen, just above the GARMIN logo, during the boot process. You can also adjust the length of time (number of seconds) the message will be displayed.
The default file will look similar to this:
 
<!-- Edit this file to display a message while your unit is powering on                -->
<!-- Allow one full power cycle after editing for your message to be updated           -->
<!-- Set the display number to the minimum number of seconds your message is displayed -->
<display = 0>
<!-- Type your message on the next line -->
 This file has no message and display time is set to zero, resulting in pretty much nothing.
Here is a modified startup.txt file:
 
<!-- Edit this file to display a message while your unit is powering on                -->
<!-- Allow one full power cycle after editing for your message to be updated           -->
<!-- Set the display number to the minimum number of seconds your message is displayed -->
<display =4> 
<!-- Type your message on the next line -->

 This file is set to last four seconds, and will display something like this during the boot process:
