High Contrast Maps

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Thomas-Neumeyer you can use another layout of the map. I use the industrial look witch is a lot better

Resurrecting this thread as I really struggled to see some roads and turning points as when out of town there is almost no contrast between the roads and the background. I tried the suggestions in this post but nothing makes any difference.

Can anyone suggest anything?

I also think it would be a good idea to have maps with higher contrast. Sometimes I take the wrong turn because there's a fork in the road where one of the two roads isn't visible on the map, and so I turn onto the wrong one. After a few meters, the app recalculates and I realize I've made a mistake...

me too! As long as you strictly follow the route line (with the instructions for turn right or left) it could be on a blanc/white background.
But if you have a lot of 3rd level roads in the area you are just driving, the map is in fifty shades of gray. So an orientation is not really possibly.

Sometimes I don't want to follow the route exactly - sometimes another more beautiful road is going parallel and I would do a kind of detour. But I can't see it on that gray in gray map.

Also if I drive a track offroad, it would be helpful to see p.e. a borderline of a forest, or a little river etc. to be sure, to drive correct. But in bright sunshine and a map style in pastel colours, it's hard to read.

I know, Garmin is using a simple txt file to specify the colours for each and everything. So, it's easy to change p.e. the color for highways, urban streets, forests, meadows, etc. to own purpose.

Good to hear it's not just me who has this problem, I was starting to think it was my eyesight at fault.

Here is a comparison of Google maps with the Here map on MRA, despite the poor image quality the difference is obvious.
The road colour doesn't need to change, just the background when out of town.

I would like more contrast as well. My old eyes are crying... I use Dart as color but it's not enough.

You could try to use Wong logistic
I find that one is better

@ Marinus: I don't agree. In the countryside roads are hardly visible. In Logistic You can't even see these roads...
Dart & Topografic seems to be the best contrast overall. But I would still like a more contrasting card.

@Jan-Jans-Gold-0-0 that had to do with the Here SDK and can't be fixed by MRA. Whatever you like best use it
