    Default Garmin Camper 890 Problem.

    Hi
    I have a Garmin Camper 890 in my camper. Gps is working fine, but have som minor and annoying problems..
    Map Theme. Default is Garmin. But i prefer Denmark.
    I can change to Denmark theme, press ok, and all seems fine. But at next startup it is back to Garmin theme.
    The other problem is about warnings. Is is beeping for Speed change at 300 m..
    Beeping for sidewinds, for schools, sharp curve, steep hill, and so on.. After a while when driving, i don't bother look at gps because it is just some of the normal warnings that i see by myself.
    I can go into menu and choose which one i want warnings about. But also here.. At next startup, it is back to default.
    I have tried factory reset, but to no help.. The Camper 890 is using Android operating system..
    I have searched online to see if other have this problem, but to no luck. I contacted Garmin, and they told me to send gps for service. So i did, and i after a week i received a brand new one, but with exactly the same problems..
    Is there anyone here that have a Camper 890 or 1090 that can test if their is same ?
    Thanks..

    Thanks for reply. I have tried to clear all of those check boxes, but next time the unit starts it is back to default. Same if i choose aonther theme. Seems like there is some write permissions missing in the android system.
    And the replacement RV890 i received also have more problems. It is even worse then my old one..
    When i stop car, the gps turns off after 2 minutes. There is no warning that it lost power, like it was on my old one, and my RV760. When i start car, the gps will not turn on. I have to hold power byutton for ca. 10 sec.. Then it starts, but using a long time. Start screen shows up quite quickly, but when i press on Look at map, or other. The Garmin start screen shows up and says wait.. It takes a few minutes before it is booted, but then i have to add destination once again.. My route is gone.. I have had RV890 for 2 years now. The plan was that it should replace my old RV760. But my RV 760 is still sitting on the dash because i don't trust the RV890. Maybe i should use is as a paper weight..
