Title: Etrex 30 Purple line
Post by: alfapete on 22 November, 2015, 07:02:36 pm

Sorry if this has been covered before, but can I change the colour of the route line I'm following from purple? And if so, how?

 I find there is little contrast to the grey background and so white or yellow might work better during daylight hours when reflections on the screen are a common and frustrating problem for me.

Thanks for any advice

Not as far as I'm aware.

You can display a Track on the map in any colour you like using 'show on map' and the respective colour setting, but once you navigate it, it becomes that-blue-that-people-call-purple.

Sounds like your maps are the wrong colour.
