TT520 map colours suggestions:)

[Dilcymro]

Hi all,

Starting to settle in with the 520 now, bought myself an Arkon dash mount and it arrived today, so that`s now installed. Voice files and speedcams seem to be working ok.

I have found though that the screen is quite difficult to see in sunshine / glare and there is no way to adjust brightness/contrast.

Can anyone suggest a decent map colour, day / night that they think is the best for all situations. I always liked the miomap colours, is there anything like that available. open to any suggestions, advice.

Also the "Help" files, when I had a look in there , there was a lot of stuff no where near my area, anyway of updating those or is it not worth it?

Thanks all,

Screen is not the best for glare....
Best solution is a shade or move it!
I've found mine much improved with my new custom mount which brings it almost a foot nearer me and away from the windscreen (unless the sunroof is open!)

My favourite map colours are "GB_New", and I don't use the night colours, just have it set to reduce the brightness.

It's available for download from the Colour Scheme Editor website (a good program to play with too!)

Help files can be updated with Doctor/Dentist/Pharmacy/Police POIs for the UK from TomTom.
Same webpage as for the guides themselves if they are missing:

Guides at the top, POIs at the bottom.

Thanks for the reply, I found the link for the poi`s in the stickies and looked them up, I take it I just download whatever I need from the list?

Map colours I saw on the TTsite and also looked up your link , looks like there is a few in there I can check out.

Where did you reduce the brightness? is this facility available on the 520?

Thanks again..

hello Anita Thank you for that , to be honest I have been so busy I haven`t had a proper read of the manual as yet, it was a lot easier when you got it in book form

thanks again,

Wasn't it just! I hate on screen manuals too.

And you're welcome!

Unless the manuals have got a lot better recently, I would just sit down with a glass of something nice and go through all the menu pages, ferreting down through as many sub-menus as you can find and seeing what's there.
