Hello ,
I think not ...... :
in my experience you can change only the fonts in the map
Edit ----preferences----click on change map fonts : you will see a window in wich you can choose the font (and dimension) you prefer.

But .... you can try to decrease font size in Windows , maybe work in this way?

I presume you want to change text languages from screens and set your own text language. If i´m right, you should go x:\GarminMobilePC\Text where .gtt files should be. Here you have 2 options, you choose an existing language .gtt file and you edit file with notepad and then you can do your traduction for your own required language and SAVE (not save as) in the end. Or you can try to find a GarminMobilePC compatible .gtt file with your language and put it to x:\GarminMobilePC\Text

Note: I think .gtt files from Garmin Oregon are compatible with GarminMobilePC.

If your problem is just the dimension of fonts, i think you should try another resolution screen in windows, eventually update your graphics card drivers or also try to set new font size in Microsoft Windows.

Ok...your have the problem with resolution of screen

Probably your screen have the resolution 800x640....and the min resolution of windows MobilePC is 800x455

You change the resolution of video card. Es: 1024x768...or >

In my PC/monitor with 1366x768 of resolution and 100% font characteres of SO W7

Or you resize with drag&drop limit of windows MobilePC with your mouse :

Quote.....Also it would be nice if I could hide bottom tool bar.

This is of course possible, I have that netbook (my daughter) but with linux as OS .
For windows....Just right-click on the bottom bar and choose "properties" , then flag "Hide automatically" . When the cursor will "fly" on the bottom of the screen it will reappear.
Easy ,in this way you can hide that bar , gaining little bit space on screen.
Hope to understood well your request.... but if you meant to hide the bottom bar of the software garmin, sadly but it's not possible .

@fyndi
What you are asking for is not possible in the standard settings of the program. You would need to do some serious modification of the software and quite frankly it isn't worth the effort imo.

What you can do is to 'restore down' the size of the map screen (your pic is showing maximized screen) and as Roger's suggested drag the sides (or you can grab the lower RH corner with your mouse, where the 3 diagonal bars are, and just drag in in proportion). But before you do that, 'auto hide' your win7 taskbar which will allow you to drag it down a little further. As you drag, you'll see that neither the size of the top and bottom banners or the letters change, only the map size changes. The proportions of the banners and map are ok in full size i think, i can't recall any other comments about them being made.

What doesn't work exactly? .70 is the most stable version and there were a lot of bugs in the very early ones such as .10. Have a look at the changelog from Garmin:

I have both 5.00.60 and .50 somewhere as well. If you really want 5.00.10 i did get it from a torrent but have never used it so i can't guarantee that it's really .10 or that it's OK. It's here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
