Thread: Zumo 590/595 Boot Logo

Unlike previous Zumo models, it's not officially possible to change the Splash Screen at startup. However, since different Splash Screens DO exist (eg: BMW, Harley Davidson, and Touratech have different splash screens from the standard Garmin one) if we knew where these were located, perhaps it would be possible to change them.

When I updated a Harley Davidson 590 to the Garmin 595 firmware (there is no HD version of the 595), the splash screen changed. Originally it shows the Harley Davidson logo, and after the upgrade, surprisingly NOT the Garmin splash screen, but a tine white square containing the words "GIR Low Mem". That suggests the splash screen is not in the firmware file itself, but the firmware instructs the Garmin to display a file from elsewhere, and as the Garmin one is not on the device, it can't find it, and doesn't know about the HD Logo. Whatever the splash image is, I can't find it, so I'm guessing it's contained within another file - a .bin file perhaps? Perhaps the GarminDevice.xml file tells it where to get the splash image? Has anyone looked at this in detail, as I'd like the Zumo to display something after the 595 upgrade, other than the little white square.....

Following what is done at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] I used the RGN Tool to save the regions from the original HD firmware as .bin files from the .GCD, and used GIR Editor to look at the 4 .bin files to see what was there.

In boot.bin no graphics found
In fw1_resources.bin no graphics found
In unknown.bin many found, but neither the HD Logo graphic nor the standard Garmin one
In fw_all.bin many found, but neither the HD Logo graphic nor the standard Garmin one

I think (though I know little about programming!) that these boot splash screens don't reside in the firmware files, but elsewhere, and the "GIR Low Mem" might be telling the truth, so it can't load the HD Logo, and the Garmin one isn't on the device. But the hardware has not changed, just the firmware, so why "GIR Low Mem" after the firmware upgrade? The HD Zumo v.330 GCD file is twice the size of the v.460 GCD file too..

Anyone expert enough to help?
