Nuvi 660 Map colors (Changing ?)

MuggeGHQ · 09-13-2009, 9:19 AM

Hello everybody.

I have a question i haven't figured out my self yet.
Can you download/change the day and night colors on the maps ?
Like on TomTom you can get different map colors.
I dont like Garmins standard daytime map colors so i wanted to get
some new colors for the map if possible ?

Anybody know how and where to get such ?

Thx a lot

There are 2 color options for the Nuvi 660. Daytime, night time, and auto. Auto switches between those 2 depending on the time of day. The night time colors are black background instead of white.

Press Settings, Display, and then Color Mode.

Page 44 of the manual has more details.

The GPS software(Zorro) I am using have three map styles for me to choose from. The three map styles have different colors. One is like tomtom, another like garmin and the other is its own style.

april09, ZorroGPS looks interesting - but I don't think it helps people who already own other brands of GPS units. Am I wrong? I only glanced at the website, but it looks to me like they sell software for cell phones and sell their own hardware that would be compatible with their maps. What GPS unit are you using Zorro with?
