Want to give your Rino 6xx a custom name or icon?
Want your Rino 6xx 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 Rino 6xx and microSD 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 Rino 6xx Icons
Install Icon
- Copy your new custom Rino 6xx icon to the [Rino 6xx]\Garmin\ directory.
- Copy your custom microSD Card icon to the [microSD]\Garmin\ directory.
Enable Icon
- Connect your Rino 6xx and enter Mass Storage Mode
- Navigate to the root directory of your Rino 6xx 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 Rino 6xx label=Garmin Rino 6xx
Modify the second line to reflect the name and location of the custom icon you copied to your Rino 6xx. For example, if we placed an icon named Rino 6xx.ico in the [Rino 6xx]\Garmin\ directory, we would make the following modification:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 6xx.ico action=Garmin Rino 6xx label=Garmin Rino 6xx
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
To do the same for the microSD Card, place the Rino 6xx uSD.ico in the [microSD]\Garmin\ directory and the autorun.inf file to the root directory of your microSD Card, and make similar edits:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 6xx uSD.ico action=Garmin Rino 6xx label=Garmin Rino 6xx
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Change Device Name
Want to change the name of your device in Windows Explorer? If we wanted our Rino 6xx to appear as "Rino" in windows explorer, we would make the following edit:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 6xx.ico action=Garmin Rino 6xx label=Rino
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Similarly, we can make the following edit to the autorun.inf file on the Rino 6xx microSD card:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 6xx uSD.ico action=Garmin Rino 6xx label=Rino uSD
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
