Using Britannia map colours on my TT Classic, some sourrounds to roads appear pink and others white. Usually the pink seems to infer a 30 m.p.h. speed limit, but not always. Info please...

Do you mean on the navigation display or the map page?
Do you mean on the edge of the "route" colour (brick red)?

I've tried switching to Britanica on my 300 and done a route demo, and on the navigation display, the route just has whatever the colour of the road was behind the brick red.

On the map, some roads are yellow with green edges, yellow with red, some red all over, some white with black, motorways are white with blue edges.
It certainly isn't speeds of the roads but whether they are major, minor, 'A'-roads, etc.

If you download the colour scheme editor from
http://www.colorschemeeditor.com/index.php?p=home&lang=EN it might give you some clues as to what the different road categories they use are.

Incidently, have you tried the "GBNew" colour scheme from the same site. I find that gives a good set of colours, similar to most UK maps.

Thanks Andy, for that reply.
I meant on the navigation page, not the actual route or roads or road borders, but the surrounding countryside perhaps half a mile each side of the route. Sometimes its white, sometimes pink - I think now maybe it indicates whether its builtup housing or open fields?
I'll certainly play with colourschemeeditor.

Ah sorry... Got you now! Embarassed

Yeah, built up areas have a colour, as do lakes and rivers obviously (although apparently a lot of these have been left off the v675 TeleAtlas W.Europe map), and also on mine, airports (or Heathrow at least) come up in a colour I've not seen used anywhere else!
