Feature Request: Map Contrast & Road Visibility in Navigation⁠

Subject: Feature Request: Map Contrast & Road Visibility in Navigation
Hi MyRoute-app Team,
As a lifetime subscriber who uses the Web Routeplanner regularly, I’d like to share a suggestion to improve map readability while riding.
The Issue:
While the active navigation track is clear, the surrounding secondary roads, street names, and map details are far too thin, faint, and low-contrast.
Why it Matters:
When riding a motorcycle, quick readability is essential. It is crucial to clearly see the surrounding road network at a glance, not just the blue track line.
Proposed Solution:
Add an option for High Contrast / Bold Roads map style.
Increase line thickness and contrast for secondary roads.
Improve font size and visibility for street names.
I have attached a side-by-side visual comparison to illustrate the difference.
Thank you for your continuous work on MRA!
Best regards

I am all in for better contrast, but I would like it slightly different then yours, which makes the map way too busy for my taste.
Personally I would appreciate a little more contrast for roads and more than that for street names and such.

Thanks for the feedback Lenny! My image was just an exaggerated visual example to clearly highlight the contrast issue. Having customizable display settings—or a subtle balance like you described—would indeed be the perfect solution so everyone can adjust it to their taste.

I fully agree! And it is discussed in other threads too.
I drive a lot in all weather conditions the whole year and it's often annoying to have a white (or light grey) screen and white roads on it. So, it's not helpful for such map style, to have a screen with 3000 NITS; white is white.

I know it would be not easy to find a color scheme, which fits for all users. Therefore I often suggested: the configuration of the color scheme should be kept in a txt file of the app. If users with passion want to optimise it for own needs, they can override the #hex code for some colours.
That's not difficult for users and there is no risk.
Garmin is doing it for Zŭmo models.
