Customizing and Sharing the Main Menu

You can customize the main menu, save your customization as a new profile, and share the profile with other GPSMAP® 66i devices. This allows you to display the same main menu settings on multiple devices. This can be useful if you share multiple devices with other users in your organization.

  1. Customize the main menu by adding, moving, and deleting items as needed (Customizing the Main Menu).
  2. Create a new profile (Creating a Custom Profile).

    The new profile is created with a default name and number. For example, Profile 10. Your main menu customizations are saved to the new profile.

  3. Change the name of your new profile to something easily recognizable (Editing a Profile Name).
  4. Connect the device to your computer using the USB cable (Connecting the Device to Your Computer).
  5. On your computer, open the file browser, and open the Garmin > Profiles folder.
  6. Copy the .gpf file with the recognizable profile name to your computer.
  7. Connect the next GPSMAP 66i device to your computer, and copy the .gpf file to the Garmin > Profiles folder.
  8. On the GPSMAP 66i device, select Profile Change from the main menu to select the new profile (Selecting a Profile).
  9. Repeat steps 5 through 8 for each additional GPSMAP 66i device.
