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

[Lluis Arasanz]

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 = white

But 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

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

@Corjan-Meijerink
I can't really take that first

I use that but the contrast is still missing

[Hubert Thoring]

The contrast is unfortunately chosen...

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

I also would like to add, as in comment #19 from Hubert, that those small white roads are really not very good to see. Maybe a litte bit different color could already help to make them see better.

Adding my support to this - the low contrast in the standard maps does make me keep looking at other apps like scenic or OsmAnd

[Con Hennekens]

@Steve-2v, Tried the different map-styles yet?

[Hubert Thoring]

@Con-Hennekens : They all behave the same, the matching map with more contrast is missing to be able to see the small streets well ...
