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.
