High Contrast Maps
-
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. -

The 3D rendering of countryside areas is a treat to experience. Unfortunately, there isn't the flexibility to import these maps into MRA Next.
The absolute best I've used is the 3D Terrain map in the Garmin XT3. The visualization takes the layered driving map to a different level. While Garmin uses HERE, these are specialized hybrid maps not available to the outside world.
For urban areas, the MRA Next map is very good. But there are tradeoffs with everything.

@John-S-Parry wel John. I know you really love Garmin. Did you notice this is not a Garmin platform. You also know that what I think of Garmin is something you dont want to hear, so please keep your love for Garmin in the Garmin platform

The man is looking for answers. If all you want to do is bash anything Garmin, you're doing a disservice to anyone looking for useful information. Your input was to weakly defend what's already in MRA Next, and when confronted with its inadequacy, concluded with "Whatever you like best use it". That certainly seems like an invitation to look elsewhere.
I gave a balanced answer, and hopefully something useful. If that somehow offends you, please move on.

After a bit of experimentation I've settled on the Dart and Explore combination which gives reasonable contrast and certainly a lot more usable than the default settings.
