Disabling the "Accept screen"

Credit: toyfountain's post

- Plug the USB from your Curtis GPS to your computer and choose the manual method to connect with ActiveSync
- You can click on "Explore" in the ActiveSync GUI or click on the "Mobile Device" drive located in "My Computer"
- Go to the folder \ResidentFlash\Coship Navi\DRIVE
- Copy the file "Settings.ini" to your computer in order to edit
- Once it's copied, open it with Notepad and :

modify this line from:

;if you dont want to show safety message box at the start
showSafetyMsg=true

to:

;if you dont want to show safety message box at the start
showSafetyMsg=false

Save the file and overwrite the old one located in \ResidentFlash\Coship Navi\DRIVE

If you wish to re-activate the "Accept Screen", follow the same procedure but place a false value instead.
