MRA V5.0.3 (449) The contrast is not sufficient
-
So your screen has a glare in the sun?
Cannot do much about that
Reading the rpm on your bmw display is hard too with that lighting
-
Okay, so .. basically it would be good to be able to see the small roads better, it's about L and K and smaller roads
Bild … 🥴

Yeah, still don’t see the problem

I will try again on the next tour to make a better picture of the topic to make it visible.
That's what it's about:
Small streets / very small streets
If you are on the road and have zoomed out further, it would be with more contrast or other colors for the small streets then perhaps to recognize them better so that there back, for example, on the right, a beautiful curvy road goes off ....
Even at the age (I 66) you need more higher contrast pictures which is not yet an issue for you as a young biker !!
But I am only one of many to many of the old users over 60 of the MRA app users.
VG and good luck

For me this has only been an issue on apple carplay devices, the largely white or grey roads when displayed on grey or white backgrounds like Vulf or Wong tend to lack contrast on these displays and make it harder to make out side roads for awareness. There have been posts about this in the past. The Dart colour scheme works better for me. The ideal solution would be to mark the edges of the road - something like a darker edge line.
Still the best app though and I like everything else
Looking forward to testing the CarPlay enhancements that are coming -
So, I avoid highways and main roads as much as possible, and these should be clearly visible on the display.
Regarding Dart: The major roads, like main roads and country roads, are barely distinguishable; they're both yellow...
Regarding Wong: The distinction between highways (red, wider) and main roads (red, narrow) to country roads (yellow) and small roads (yellow, narrow) is definitely a good start. However, the very small roads (white) are barely visible. In rural areas, this makes navigating the beautiful little roads (white) very confusing. If you haven't planned ahead and want to make a spontaneous turn, the road layout (white) is difficult to discern.
Example at Möhnesee: The forest road, which is "beautiful to drive," is barely noticeable when driving past. It leads to "Franki's Hut," which is highly recommended.
The turnoff from the south shore to the forest road is barely visible on the display!
That then with sunshine is then on the way on the mobile phone / motorcycle often difficult to recognize.!!

I understand your point but I can think of a lot of examples where it would be absolutely a terrible idea if those minor roads are shown on these low zoomlevels…
-
It would be nice if you could turn it on or off.
- Showing small streets more would be a solution if that would be against !!
With Google Maps such a road is shown better ..

Ah, yes. Another setting!

Hi all,
If I can say something about maps and colors is when Traffic density is shown.
If highway is red (o near red) color, is too difficult when driving to know if a traffic jam is ahead. If highway is yellow, the same with medium density traffic.
And even this is worst when night colored maps are used.
The rest of visibility, is more about device contrast and screen light.
I don’t know how difficult is code this colors or change how traffic is presented on screen .
But perhaps an alternated two color layer (red and white for example) can add more contrast to see traffic jam in a fast view to navigation screen.
Thanks and regards
