The update for Navigon v5 to v5.1 makes the program run a lot better, and the selection of new map colours are far nicer.

I've just installed the 5.1 update but my maps are still grey, exactly the same as before.

Am I missing something here?


I think you have to download the additional colors. There's a link in the Navigon Downloads/Patchs Ready thread here

Thanks but I expected at the very least that Navigon would provide additional map colour schemes with this so called upgrade without expecting you to download from a third party.

I also expected them to provide some extra skins in order to get away from the standard grey which looks fine indoors but is totally invisible in bright daylight.

I also expected an improvement in the speed of operation of the interface but unfortunately it's still like wading through treacle.

They have improved the route calculation times in large urban areas but this fault should never have passed their quality control in the first place.

But what else have they done which could have taken so long?

No wonder they only have a very low market share in relation to TomTom!

It's better but not much better Crying or Very sad
