Title: Unable to load custom boot text?
Post by: joemx1825 on March 19, 2015, 01:11:50 PM: Does anybody have an image of the 9 series boot logo with added 4 lines of custom text? I don't have access yet to my boat to test, but I heard the new Humminbird logo gets in the way of the 4 lines of custom added boot text you can add via Humminbird PC?

Post by: joemx1825 on March 20, 2015, 11:08:13 AM: I got an answer, no the new boot logo does not get in the way of the text, the old logo did...

Post by: Humminbird_Greg on March 20, 2015, 12:28:30 PM: Really? The old logo did not get in the way of the text on my 998c Si unit, but maybe I didn't have enough in each line.

Post by: sfw1960 on March 23, 2015, 05:40:33 PM: ALL,
With the release of the latest v7.460 software the boot logo changed to this:

From what was shown with v7.020 on my 899ci HDSI, I have heard the 999 logo also changed, though I do not own one. The 998c HDSI remains unchanged with v 7.510.
;)

Post by: joemx1825 on April 14, 2015, 09:49:48 AM: I can't get my custom text to load on my 999, I have the text added to the sd card via Humminbird PC, I powerup the 999 with the SD card in the slot and let it fully boot up, I then power it down and back up but no custom boot text is visible..

Post by: Humminbird_Greg on April 14, 2015, 11:33:15 AM: Can you make and view a Screen Snapshot on that same memory card joemx1825?
Try powering the unit on first and then install the memory card.

Post by: joemx1825 on April 14, 2015, 12:09:46 PM: i'll test it tonight - Can I just leave the SD card in the unit once the boot text is loaded? This will be my snapshot card too...
Title: Re: Unable to load custom boot text?
Post by: Humminbird_Greg on April 14, 2015, 12:57:24 PM: Yes you can.
What you will find is that if you put a blank SD card in there that the unit will load the same data to the memory card whenever you save a Screen Snapshot or export your waypoints, so either way the personalized text info ends up on the SD card.

Post by: joemx1825 on April 15, 2015, 09:04:36 AM: I finally got the boot text to load, but only after I went into my SD card and edited the profile.txt file manually. If I tried to load the boot text via Humminbird PC it wouldn't work...just a heads up, editing the profile.txt is a heck of a lot easier!
