TomTom One V4 question

Does this new version automatically know when it's dark and switch to night colours on its own? I've just received mine this evening and can't understand why it goes straight onto night colours as soon as I turn it on.

Change Preferences
Right Arrow 3 times
Brightness Preferences

Then you will see the box:

Switch to night view when dark

Then just keep tapping the Done button to get back to the nav screen.

Not sure when it knows what time to go to night view, but again you can quickly select night or day from:

Change Preferences
Use night colours
(when you come back to this menu it will say Use day colours)

As far as I know, none of the One models has a light sensor, so cannot do any automatic day/night switching.

I think all you've got is the "switch to day/night colours" in the preferences menu and the two sliders in "Brightness preferences"

The One V4 does have a selection for auto switching as pocketgps said but it must work on dusk / dawn tables as the times change and it works indoors in a glass cabinet at the back of a shop Smile

Can you say where that is in the menus, please molerat?

I was under the impression that whilst this is the intention, the reality was different and that the unit would change from day to night and back sporadically.

Thanks for all the responses. It did indeed switch to day colours in the morning.

You could use the screen capture facility on the tomtom itself if you have it enabled.
I can't remember exactly how to enable this and I don't have my tomtom with me to check but it is somenthing along the lines of: Make a folder in the root called screen with a file in it called capture then tap the upper left corner of the tomtom screen.
When you hear a shutter noise the tomtom will have dumped a bitmap of the screen contents into the screen folder.
