'----------------'

Details:
- Connect your Edge via USB.
- Open the GARMIN folder on the USB drive.
- Open the startup.txt
- Edit and save.

Further digging into this startup.txt I've found the following:

- Limited to 7-Bit ASCII characters.... so only the basics. (No mad Extended ASCII character art)
- Center aligns the text.
- Garmin EDGE 520/820: 5 Lines
- Garmin EDGE 530/830/1030: 6 Lines
- Garmin EDGE 800: 7 Lines
- Characters on each line depends on the character used. It varies.
- There's more than enough room for your name / phone number / email address.
- You can extend the time the message is shown.
- It survives device reset.
