Want to give your Oregon 6xx a custom name or icon? Want your Oregon 6xx to stand out in Windows Explorer? You've come to the right place!
Create Icon
- Select or create images to use as icons for your Oregon 6xx and µSD Card
- Size each image to 256x256 pixels and save in PNG format
- Visit this link to convert each PNG file to ICO format
- Save the converted ICO files to a safe location on your PC
- Or choose from these Oregon 6xx Icons
Install Icon
- Copy your new custom Oregon 6xx icon to the [Oregon 6xx]\Garmin\ directory.
- Copy your custom µSD Card icon to the [uSD]\Garmin\ directory.
Enable Icon
- Connect your Oregon 6xx and enter Mass Storage Mode
- Navigate to the root directory of your Oregon 6xx GPSr
- Open autorun.inf with Notepad (or Notepad++)
The default autorun.inf file will look similar to this:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Garmintriangletm.ico action=Garmin Oregon 650 label=Garmin Oregon 650
Modify the second line to reflect the name and location of the custom icon you copied to your Oregon 6xx. For example, if we placed an icon named Oregon 650.ico in the [Oregon 6xx]\Garmin\ directory, we would make the following modification:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 650.ico action=Garmin Oregon 650 label=Garmin Oregon 650
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
To do the same for the µSD Card, place the Oregon 650 uSD.ico in the [µSD]\Garmin\ directory and the autorun.inf file to the root directory of your µSD Card, and make similar edits:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 650 uSD.ico action=Garmin Oregon 650 label=Garmin Oregon 650
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Change Device Name
Want to change the name of your device in Windows Explorer? If we wanted our Oregon 6xx to appear as "650" in windows explorer, we would make the following edit:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 650.ico action=Garmin Oregon 650 label=650
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
Similarly, we can make the following edit to the autorun.inf file on the Oregon 6xx µSD card:
[autorun] icon=Garmin\Oregon 650 uSD.ico action=Garmin Oregon 650 label=650 uSD
Save the edited autorun.inf file.
