Customizing the Homescreen background

The display’s Homescreen background can be configured to use a custom animation, or image.

Homescreen customization

The animation, or image file (for an individual display), or files contained in a zip file (for multiple networked displays featuring different display resolutions) must be saved to a memory card that is inserted into your chartplotter’s card reader.

  1. Select This display from the Settings menu: Homescreen > Settings > This display.
  2. Select the Homescreen background button.
  3. Ensure either Animation, or Image is selected.
  4. Select Upload custom.

    The file browser is displayed.

  5. Browse to your custom file or zip file and select it.
  6. Select either Use as background on this display only or Use as background on all displays from the pop-over menu.

    • Use as background on this display only — The homescreen background for the current display will be updated to use your custom file.

    • Use as background on all displays — All detected displays will use your custom file as the homescreen background.

The homescreen background can be reset at any time by selecting the Reset to default button and then selecting Yes on the notification dialog.

If you want to reset the homescreen background on multiple displays, select the Apply to all displays on network check box.

Performing a factory reset will also remove all custom backgrounds.
