Ask about one change in color scheme "Map editors"

Post by
I think that one change should be make in color map scheme "Map editors". I am using this scheme and I think that one color schould be changed. They have one mistake: areas (cities and villages) and dirty roads are in the similar colour. I propose change colour of dirty roads. I think that black will the best.

Ok, wow. I had no idea this was possible so easily. FileApp is an App Store approved non-jailbreak app for managing files directly on the device, too. Thank you !

Dropbox is a pretty popular service. Even my non-techy wife loves it because no matter which computer at home or at work she it at, she always has the latest copy of her files without having to carry a USB drive around.

Yeah I'm a big fan. Haven't used a usb drive since I started using dropbox!
I we can get to our files on mobile devices! Ok, enough threadjacking. I'm out.

I like both of the latest variants of the colour scheme with green and blue active routes and modified unmunched, dirt tracks etc.

Is it possible to make both available for download so I can give them a try?

Thanks

I've been using the Green line colour set, however on occasion the client will revert to the purple route colour - usually after a recalculation.

Are there multiple locations that I need to copy the file to?

Thanks

It's my pleasure to return the compliment...

Blue Line Schema

Green Line Schema

I've simply added the extra line in each file using the same colour.

You don't need to Jailbreak an iPhone to change the colour scheme, just use DiskAid to drop the modified schema into the appropriate folders:
\Waze\Waze.app\skins\default\day
\Waze\Waze.app\skins\default\night

I reduced the thickness of the roads too as I found that many of the smaller roundabouts in the UK just turn into blobs ...


I also use DiskAid to put the PGPSW Speed camera POIs onto the TomTom app.

DiskAid has a free trial for PC or Mac and can be found here: http://www.digidna.net/products/diskaid
(It's nothing to do me with me but I find it really useful!)
