Map Road Colors

Postby yossidme » Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:56 am

When using Waze to navigate, the route is shown in light blue or purple (I haven't yet figured out the difference when each is used). When traffic is heavy a red margin is shown on the route. Sometimes I find this difficult to see, especially when the route is shown in purple and the map is displaying in night mode. I'd like to change the color of the route to something lighter, so the contrast with the red margin will be greater, but I haven't found any way to do that. I've tried all the color schemes, but that doesn't have any effect on the route color.

Have I missed a setting somewhere? If not, please consider adding this feature. Perhaps just turning the route to red when traffic is heavy would be even better.

I'm using Waze 3.0.1.1 on a Samsung Galaxy SII I9100 with Android 2.3.5.

There is no official way to do this. Maybe one of the config files could be modified behind the scenes to do this. Maybe one of the guys that play around with these files on a regular basis can chime in.

You can find the info on making your own color scheme or download one from the following thread.

Try the Aquamarine color scheme (shameless promotion), I think you will like it."

Thanks.

Now I just have to read up on how to download and install color schemes.
