Want to give your Rino 7xx a custom name or icon?
Want your Rino 7xx 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 7xx 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 7xx Icons
Install Icon
- Copy your new custom Rino 7xx icon to the [Rino 7xx]\Garmin\ directory.
- Copy your custom microSD Card icon to the [microSD]\Garmin\ directory.
Enable Icon
- Connect your Rino 7xx and enter Mass Storage Mode
- Navigate to the root directory of your Rino 7xx 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 7xx label=Garmin Rino 7xx
Modify the second line to reflect the name and location of the custom icon you copied to your Rino 7xx. For example, if we placed an icon named Rino 7xx.ico in the [Rino 7xx]\Garmin\ directory, we would make the following modification:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 7xx.ico action=Garmin Rino 7xx label=Garmin Rino 7xx
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
To do the same for the microSD Card, place the Rino 7xx 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 7xx uSD.ico action=Garmin Rino 7xx label=Garmin Rino 7xx
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 7xx to appear as "Rino" in windows explorer, we would make the following edit:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 7xx.ico action=Garmin Rino 7xx label=Rino
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Similarly, we can make the following edit to the autorun.inf file on the Rino 7xx microSD card:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Rino 7xx uSD.ico action=Garmin Rino 7xx label=Rino uSD
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
