Upgrade of the Built-in GPS

[SuperDave_GPS]

My 2016 RT Ltd came with the Garmin 660 Zumo, which is OK, but I really would've preferred the newer 590 Zumo.
When the 660 boots up, the screen displays a "Can-Am" splash-screen, and the default vehicle on the map is a little mini Can-Am Spyder, which is kinda cool.
If the 660 Zumo is like most other Garmin GPSs, then the vehicle is simply an individual file held in the vehicle folder within the "Garmin" folder.

My question is - if I swap out my 660 Zumo and wire in the 590 Zumo (purchased through a non-BRP retailer), how would I have the new GPS boot-up with the Can-Am display? I'm sure I can just find and transfer the vehicle file over to the new GPS.

Thanks.
Cheers.

I have the Spyder_RT.srf file if you need it in the future.

WOW.. Thanks.

That DIY post is incredible.
Thank you..!!!

I like to tinker around with stuff, including files embedded within GPSs and stuff, but had no idea that I could install my own splash screen.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the reference back to this post. I had no idea something like this was here.

You all are welcome. Took me a while to put all that together

My thanks too, Bob. Something to individualize the Zumo.
