GIR_Editor v0.22
by Turboccc


Revision History


v0.22

• Automatically recalculate the entire file checksum when saving logo.bin files just in case you want to modify some strings manually. Just load a logo.bin and save back. Not even a need to change the logo.
• Not finished, but a bit more support for bitmap type 6 extraction on nuvi 37xx fw1_resources.bin. I should be done soon.
• Fixed logo extraction for 255w Chinese logo.bin.

v0.21

• Supports single logo file (like zumo Japan logo)
• Displays correctly the number of symbols in files
• Automatically display first symbol in preview when a file is opened
• Corrected 32-bit bitmap logo replacement

v0.20

• Added support for resource files of type 19. Only PGN can be previewed for this file type.
• Added support for logo.bin files. Symbols can be extracted and replaced. The modified file can be saved to a new logo file.

How-To


Modify a logo from a logo.bin file (see screenshots above)
1- Start GIR_Editor
2- Use File->Open to open a logo.bin file (can be extracted of some fw with RGN_Tool )
3- Right click on the list of symbols to save one or all logos.
4- Double click to replace a logo
5- Save new logo .bin file
7- You can flash this logo.bin file by creating a .rgn file with your boot.bin and logo.bin using RGN_Tool . Make sure to flash only to a compatible gps unit.

My nuvi 765 starts up whith a Volvo logo , is there any chans to remove this .

The problem is that i an no longer a Volvo owner !!

Thanks for the answers, but there is no splash screen that I thought The Volvo loggon comes up instead of Garmnins boot image. Directly on the power on.
I have extr the "boot.bin" from the cgd file using RGN tool and loaded in the GIR editor but can find no pictures.
I might not make it right?

For my experience :: Nuvi 7xx can add Logo.bin from 1355CHN v 2.20
Here is Link ::

You can use RGN_Tool to save logo.bin
Then make a rgn file using original boot.bin + logo.bin --> out.rgn
Flash out.rgn to your nuvi then you will get Chinese logo instead volvo logo.

-Then use GIR Editor to replace Chinese logo with original Garmin logo

Here is original Garmin logo

Or..You tell me what is your original boot.bin ., so I can make a gupdate.gcd(contain of your original boot.bin + modified logo.bin contain of original garmin logo) for you.\
Just place it in sdcard\garmin\gupdate.gcd and ...That's it !!

give me your info and your email if you like me to do it for you .
