I am unable to change the color of private, PLR, or hospital places.
  • Much thinner roads (helps in densely built areas with lots of parallel roads)
  • Pedestrian paths are gray
  • Railroads are dark brown with silver rails (edges)
  • Places are light blue
  • Water places are blue
  • all place are 75% opaque, to show overlapping place areas
  • Navigation line is bright blue
  • Background and road colors match WME (background is with URO+)
I change the label colors for cities and places after the screen shot.

I added borders to places on both my map editors schemes, day and night. They can be seen, downloaded, or code copied from the new Color Schemes wiki page. (Special thanks to Sketch for the page)

DeepSouthDiver wrote:Heya!

First time poster here, longtime Wazer.

I'm doing the best I can to be sure that this posts in the proper thread and that I'm using proper netiquette, so if I make a mistake please be patient with me. I've been a BBS and board user for decades, but I'm new here.

Back in 2004 or so I was using a Magellan handheld GPS unit in my car. The unit had been given to me to review and critique (I often write all kinds of reviews). At the time, the whole concept of a GPS system in your vehicle was science fiction. The unit had a tiny monochrome screen, and a very rudimentary base map - but it had a base map, which made it pretty much the top of the line at the time.

Flash forward to 2006-ish, and I purchased my first GARMIN GPS unit to "update" my vehicle's electronics. I think pretty much the world was buying those things. They were great and of course, we all know how that went - the in-car GPS became the norm, and pretty much it was GARMIN vs. TomTom, and I purchased the largest GARMIN I could find... The 765T. "T" meant that it had a traffic function, and it was a bonus that it could play mp3's off of an SD card onto my truck's stereo via a staticy FM signal. I even purchased the "lifetime map updates" for $90 and religiously updated my maps. The unit's simple graphics and plastic screen became outclassed by the rise of big, beautiful cell phones, and even though GARMIN GPS systems got larger and cheaper, it was very obvious that the way of the future regarding navigation was going to involve the cell phone.

I held on as long as I could, dealing with the clunky map updates (some of which took HOURS even though I now had a 100 mbps internet connection - unheard of when I had bought the thing) in order to keep the reliability of the maps (no internet connection needed) and the separate device (no switching back and forth between phone call, Pandora, and my nav app). Perhaps the best part of having the GARMIN in my truck was that it was hardwired... That is, when I started the truck it came on, and when I shut the truck off it turned off. Simple. And I didn't have to actually be navigating in order to take advantage of the unit... I had learned to use it in daily driving just to see what roads, curves, or whatever was ahead so I knew what to expect when I got there. This feature was nonexistent on Google Navigation, which only worked when you actually navigated somewhere. It was pretty much worthless otherwise, and I kept my GARMIN.

The idea of a "live map" was pretty cool, though, and I toyed with the idea of using Google Navigation more often. The problem was... It was such a commitment. I had to open the app, navigate, plug in my phone, and set my phone up so that I could read it without being a distracted driver. If I used my phone to also listen to Pandora (I do), then I was now constantly switching back and forth between the apps, and if I got a call or a text, I found myself a very busy, distracted driver. Meanwhile, my old-looking GARMIN (now) sat quietly and patiently, giving me only the information that I wanted.

Enter Waze. I'd heard about it... Social media meets navigation. Pretty cool. I played with it a bit, but stopped using it because it was just a pain to use compared to my trusty GARMIN.

...Well, the other day my 1 year old GARMIN's mount broke. So I bought another on eBay. This new one wasn't quite as tight and reliable as the old one, and of course, the GARMIN never could give me the locations of hazards, police officers, or whatever... So I was still trying to figure out a way to make Waze work better for me. When my GARMIN refused to do a map update recently (their firmware seems less stable every time I update it), I committed myself to figuring out a better way.

Well... My solution was this: Call my cell phone carrier (Verizon) and take advantage of a promotion they were having... A free 8.3" LG Tablet. Install Waze on it, mount it to my dash, and create a dedicated machine.

I used Waze, AutomateIt, Raindar, and Pandora on the tablet, hardwired a power cable to the tablet (to switched power), installed an iSimple Tranzit Blu, and purchased a very solid tablet mount from Amazon. What I now have is what I loved about the GARMIN (on/off by itself, no need to navigate to take advantage) but using Waze for it's fully-live, social maps. I've been playing with it for the past month or so, and have made many tweaks to make everything run correctly. The system is fantastic. Tonight I'll be using it to navigate to a weekend getaway with my wife, five hours away.

The only true complaint that I was unable to "tweak" out was the lack of definition on the Waze maps. Even on an 8.3" screen, all of the color schemes are insanely frustrating to discern while driving. There's simply not enough contrast in any of the color schemes - not even the Map Editors scheme (which has it's own issues). Thus, I began Google searching for a solution. I have been lurking here quite a while learning from y'all.

So here you have it... A map color scheme made by a guy that's been using various GPS systems for over a decade every day. The key is to keep the pertinent information immediately viewable, while minimizing the unnecessary information. Hopefully, this minimizes driver distraction and gets pertinent information into the driver's brain fastest and most efficiently so that he/she can focus on DRIVING.

Those of you familiar with GARMIN nav systems will immediately see similarities and will quickly be comfortable with this scheme.

I will call the scheme "Garminesque."

Okay... For those of you who are having difficulty understanding what you're supposed to do with these codes (I did... Took me a lot of looking up and searching to figure it out), here's what you do with these:

1. On your phone, download a free app called "File Manager" and install it. It's here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... rhmsoft.fm I am assuming that you have an Android-based phone. Sorry, I don't have an iPhone but I'm sure there's a similar app.

2. Open this page in your phone, select the code for "day." Highlight it and copy it.

3. Open your new File Manager app and navigate to /storage/emulated/0/waze/skins/default/day/4 and open a file there called "schema." Select "Open As Text."

4. Replace all of the code there with the code that you've copied. That is... Highlight all of the code and then paste over it.

5. Close the file, saving as you go.

6. Repeat the same thing for the night code. The file that needs to be overwritten is also called "schema," and is in the /storage/emulated/0/waze/skins/default/night folder.

The last step is to open your Waze app and go into settings and select Settings->Display Settings->Map Color Scheme and select "Twilight." Some people overwrite other schemes - I elected to overwrite "Twilight" since I would have never used it as it was.

A couple of other settings I like, just to put everyone on the same page:

1. settings->Advanced->Auto Zoom is set to "According to Distance."
2. settings->Quick Settings->Mode is set to "Auto."

My tablet in my truck is set horizontally... That is, in "landscape." This seems to work very well on the tablet. Doing the same on my Samsung Note 3 (which is nearly the same size) when I'm in one of my other cars, Waze seems to use larger fonts and menus... So there's not much screen real estate with which to see the map. With the Note 3, Waze works much better in a portrait orientation. The tablet works better in a landscape orientation.

That's it... My first, and possibly my only, forum post. :) Hope this saves someone out there a lot of frustration. I have seen a lot of people complain about roads not having enough contrast, but a lot of others' solutions didn't seem much better to me. Problem solved.

For what it's worth... Don't forget to bookmark this page so you can go back to it again another time. This morning Waze did an automatic update, which overwrote my "schema" files into their defaults. Frustrating to have to go back and do them again, but I did. You will too.
Thanks for your detailed effort.

For installation instructions for both iOS and android there is a wiki page Color schemes

At the bottom there is also a table sampling some schemes. Might I convince you to include your scheme there, it would make it easy to reference back to when you need it. You can copy the format used for the other schemes if you like.

If not would you allow me to do it for you, creating a page for the scheme to put in your personal wiki username space?

You're very welcome (pun intended).

Does that mean you will add it to the Wiki? Or you want me to do it for you?

Thanks again!!
Here you go, I did it using a complicated transclusion scheme so all the data is on your personal individual pages for the schemes and are being pulled into the table on the color schemes wiki. This way if you decide to update the wiki info you can just do it in one place (for each scheme).

Here goes

Go to your wiki page https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/User:DeepSouthDiver

Click the theme you want to change.

Click edit on the top of the page

Scroll down until you see

Code: Select all

<!-- ===============

Theme code goes below this lineline
         ↓             ↓
========================= -->
{{pre2|scroll|<nowiki>

</wiki>}}
You have two options here, either select all the text between the <nowiki> tags, and replace it with the new theme code, or find the lines you updates and make the changes here.

Then scroll to the top of page and change the date where it says "last updated"

In the summary field at the bottom, type "updated theme " or descriptive.

Click save

If you want to update the screen shots, click on them, then click the link to "upload a new version of this file".

But a day scheme based on the default, with just a little bit of more color, thinner roads and other tweaks would be nice.

Till then, I am playing with Garminesque.

Great work both of you.
Scroll back through this thread, sketch made some
