Very useful information. However, do yo know how to access the splash screen / intro screen on a Garmin GPSMap 496? I have bought a second-hand one and the previous owner's name appears above the GPSMap 496 text on the screen immediately after you press the power button. I wish to change or erase this part. I don't know what combination of buttons to press to get access to this part.

Look at GPSMAP 496 manual ,pag 196:
Using xImage for Customized Waypoint Symbols
xImage allows you to exchange images between your PC and your
GPSMAP 496. You can download and save screen shots of any
screen shown on your unit. xImage also allows you to download customizable splash screens and waypoint symbols from compatible
GPS units, customize them (if you have an image editing program
on your PC), and send them back to your GPS unit.
You can download xImage from the Garmin Web site at

Refer to the help file for complete
instructions about using xImage.
