Not shure if its in the same place as im looking at 2.4 just now. Go to settings then map settings. Open day map colors and change in there. Pick one you like and do the same with Night map colour. Failing that i dont know, could be skin related.

Map colors are selected by the mapmaker. I don't see any way to change them.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
ALWAYS BACK-UP YOUR FILES/FOLDERS BEFORE MAKING EDITING CHANGES!

Please do NOT post any thanks. Simply press the hand icon with the "thumb up" which is the thank you button.

Solved the skin issue just created skin folder and put the desired skin in there ..... :023:
Then go to More > display etc and find the zip file in skin folder
Just that I heard people talking about scheme files but seems to be ok.

Map colors can be changed by choosing a different scheme. Primo schemes differ from iGO schemes!! Some skins offer schemes as well (Gurjon I think)
The colors in the scheme can be changed, if you know what you are doing.

I imported the default iGO Primo for iOS scheme into the Android version as i like the iOS scheme (orange guidance strips) more then the default Android scheme with the white/blue guidance strips. Works perfectly :023:

The night view is rubbish on them all i have tried. Anyone use navfree? the night view on that is nice and i tend to use that over Primo at night. Must look into it further though as no doubt there is a version that looks similar.

I've used NavFree on iOS quite a bit.
Have to admit that i can't really remember how exactly night mode looks on NavFree on top of my head... now i need to try it to know. One of the main problems i had/have with NavFree is the performance, the map just doesn't scroll smoothly and sometimes even stutters or freezes completely which can be an issue when you are in the situation that there are a lot of turns in a short distance. Of course no lane assist is also a con of NavFree.
I have to say that i think the night mode of the iOS iGO app is pretty decent.. personal taste ofc.

Flawless on the Android mate. iSO i thibnk had the upgrade to V3 what we android scum need to wait on. I was reading that some people were having problems after the update. Yeah, if it had lane assist it would be the perfect app.

Why you just don't google for alternative primo schemes? There must be lots of them around.
