1030 Canned Text

Does anyone know where the base configuration file is being pulled from? Can the this be edited to change the pre-defined response or does the unit map out responses and just send the url or line location to show the corresponding text?

    Are you talking about the startup text?
    Device > Garmin > startup.txt
    Check out the following link, you can also display how many seconds (1-10) for it to display.

    Sorry if I misunderstand, are you talking about something else, like emergency notifications?
    I haven't found anything regarding that, tho I've heard it pulls a google map link. It doesn't seem to be covered in the manual, but I haven't gotten around to trying it yet due to all the responses about rough trails and roads triggering it.
  • The response-texts are stored in the language-files - directory Garmin/Text.
    Since there is no file for English language, you only can edit all other languages.
    Be careful - it's a littlebit difficult to edit the file.
    Each predefined answer is to be searched and replaced twice!

    Make a copy of your language.gtt before editing it!

    Does the canned text still work? Mine disappeared a long time ago. I assumed it was broken

    From post #4.
    My canned text is back and working again. I assumed it might have been garmin 1030 firmware 7.0 but I juts read there was a recent GCM update 4.13.3 which is more likely to have fixed whatever the issue was.
