    hello. in the UK we have A roads (heavy lines), B roads (lighter thiner lines), and then side roads etc which are less substantial than B roads. is there a way to male these side roads bigger ,brighter and easier to see while route planning. i have to zoom in so far to see them it makes it to difficult to navigate my intended route accurately. ive tried all the map layers, and opacity? (maybe the wrong word) of lines. but i just cant get them to stand out. any help would be great. thanks.

      @ian-davies-2 Here's a screenshot using the OpenStreetMap overlay showing a motorway (pink) an A road (orange) a B road (yellow) and minor roads are white.
      To me, that's quite clear and I wear glasses 🤓

        Hi nick, thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention its on the phone.
        I just used the laptop to do it for the first time and it was definitely a lot easier, but as my laptop is very slow I was hoping to get them plainer on the phone. It's not the end of the world tho, I'll just have to use the laptop more often. I've added pics anyway of what I was seeing, as when a little zoomed out they disappear. Would just like ot of they stayed bright pink or something:) but I realise it's not as simple as that. I've reverted back to OSV now anyway and will use that. Thanks 👍

          @ian-davies-2 Maybe the Michelin map stands out a little more?

            Yeh I think that is a bit easier on the eyes. I wear glasses for reading but not riding so I think the Michelin will help while riding aswel. Cheers nick

              @Nick-Carthew I do love when you can see a conversation thread with the discussion just being a bit out of sync & a little at cross purposes 😂

              this post is in the "[Web] Suggestions and Discussion" section when @ian-davies-2 is asking about "a way to make these side roads bigger, brighter and easier to see while route planning" but he "forgot to mention its on the phone."

              as the original question is asking about maps & planning in the phone MRA Routeplanner, the map options that Ian may be interested in are those in the Menu > Map Style

              @ian-davies-2 you may be disappointed, none of the choices give a really really clear contrast for the small unclassified roads
