Navigation map colour

Quick question I hope, can you change the Nav map colour?, I have looked and played but no luck, at the moment I have a green background, must be a way... thanx

I think if you enable traffic map mode, it will turn it a different color, but not sure. Maybe disable the Night/Day mode check box and see what happens.

In addition to Opasha, there is also "Classic Colors" or something like that -- option in the navigation options, although I did not see any noticeable change, maybe you can check and let us know.

I actually don't mind the new colors, they are pretty good, night/day mode finally automatic unlike before, and you can always switch to Traffic view and link to one of the buttons.

The strange thing for me is despite having Auto mode enabled, my brightness does not change between Night and Day - it stays at the set brightness. I don't get why.

Gents, have played and given up. Tried night, day and auto setting nothing changes which is weird. Cannot change the background color from a depressing and rather dull green/grey. Changing the map>advanced>color to classic color makes no difference at all. Perhaps someone else can comment as I cant believe changing these settings appears to do nothing

That's what I thought, so I wasn't imagining things, it made no change to the colors. Depressing gray traffic mode is still my favorite.
