          @Corjan-Meijerink
          Wong looks good!👍
          I think it will be useful in bright sunlight.
          Test it sitting in the garden 😊
          A bit more closer to Michelin's color scheme would even be better. Red for major roads and a bit more yellow for minor roads?
          That's my experience with my customized zumoXT colors.

            A big improvement.
            @Rob-Veerman Not every screen is the same. It seems your screen is fine. My Android Auto screen is also fine.
            But there a lot of screen quality which are worse especially when the brightness is boosted to the max. Then the roads and the area around the roads have almost the same color. This makes it nearly impossible to navigate on.

              Does anyone else have issues being unable to make out the roads on the Nav app?
              I'm using Chigee and all I can see is the navigation line on a white background, the definition of the map is so faint, its nothing like the map displayed on the phone. It is marginally better in my car's car play system but the definition of the map is still very faint.

              @Sharon-Wilson I’ve been using MRA for planning for years but not used it for navigation until yesterday. I’ve just got rid of my Garmin Zumo XT and fitted a Chigee AIO-5 CarPlay unit and tested it yesterday only to discover I simply cannot see the roads on the map. I am really disappointed and frankly quite amazed by this. Even on my phone the nav map is hard to see as the contrast between the roads and the background is not great enough.
              I have read all the replies and it seems this is going to be addressed soon, but not quick enough for me as I’m off to Scotland on Thursday. I guess I’ll be binning MRA in favour of Calimoto or Scenic until MRA get it sorted.

                @Corjan-Meijerink Although there is obviously a solution to the problem soon, a small question of understanding from me.
                These problems only seem to occur with external devices such as Chigee etc.?
                I use an old Pocophone F1 when navigating with the app and not my zumo xt and I don't have any colour issues?
                So is it possibly only due to the AndroidAuto or Carplay devices?
                Or am I ‘doing something wrong’? 😊

                  @Thomas-Schäfer said in map contrast issues:

                  That’s not the case. I’ve had it with two different models of iPhone, and it’s even worse when phone decides to dim the screen due to heat.

                    I use MRA only on Android Auto. No problems with it.
                    But to be fair. The current map does not have the greatest contrast compared to other navigation apps
                    The problem is a typical screen issue. Many screens can reach high brightness levels but not all screens can maintain a good contrast at high brightness levels.
                    Black on white will always work but light blue on white is very difficult

                      I don't thimk it is simply a screen issue.
                      For high contrast = readability in sunlight a proper choice of colors is much more important.
                      A retired photographer recommended me, switch your color tables to greyscale and then choose for landscapes etc. and roads just the opposite colors.
                      Michelin overlay colors are a good example.
