MRA V5.0.3 (449) The contrast is not sufficient
-
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

Yes, the missing contrast is really a pitty. About the different colours for streets: I love the "Michelin-Style" in paper maps, because in an overview (less zoom) it's easy to orientate.
Highway = red/orange
primary roads = yellow
local roads = whiteBut yes, in case of traffic overlay (red and yellow) it may not easy to identify.

I also would be very happy, if such option could be considered.

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

- Anti-glare film on the screen helps a lot. About 15 Euros.
- Wong + 'Roads only' option in Map Style is quite high contrast (yellow roads on light grey background in light mode)

The contrast is unfortunately chosen...
The small white streets are not really good to spontaneously conquer a beautiful little street unplanned...
