Want to give your Oregon 7x0 a custom name or icon? Want your Oregon 7x0 to stand out when connected to your computer? You've come to the right place!
Create Icon
- Select or create images to use as icons for your Oregon 7x0 and µSD Card
- Size each image to 256x256 pixels and save in PNG format
- Visit this link to convert each PNG file to ICO format
- Save the converted ICO files to a safe location on your PC
- Or choose from these Oregon 7x0 Icons
Install Icon
- Copy your new custom Oregon 7x0 icon to the [Oregon 7x0]\Garmin\ directory.
- Copy your custom µSD Card icon to the [uSD]\Garmin\ directory.
Enable Icon
- Connect your Oregon 7x0 and enter Mass Storage Mode
- Navigate to the root directory of your Oregon 7x0 GPSr
- Open autorun.inf with Notepad (or Notepad++)
The default autorun.inf file will look similar to this:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Garmintriangletm.ico action=Garmin Oregon 750 label=Garmin Oregon 750
Modify the second line to reflect the name and location of the custom icon you copied to your Oregon 7x0. For example, if we placed an icon named Oregon 750.ico in the [Oregon 7x0]\Garmin\ directory, we would make the following modification:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 750.ico action=Garmin Oregon 750 label=Garmin Oregon 750
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
To do the same for the µSD Card, place the Oregon 750 uSD.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\Oregon 750 uSD.ico action=Garmin Oregon 750 label=Garmin Oregon 750
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Change Device Name
Want to change the name of your device in Windows Explorer? If we wanted our Oregon 7x0 to appear as "750" in windows explorer, we would make the following edit:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 750.ico action=Garmin Oregon 750 label=750
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Similarly, we can make the following edit to the autorun.inf file on the Oregon 7x0 µSD card:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 750 uSD.ico action=Garmin Oregon 750 label=750 uSD
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
