NIGHT MODE ON ICN520

Sorry if this has been covered before but...

The displayed night mode on the ICN520 to me doesnt really look very different to the day mode, you notice a slight shading change but thats it. Is there a theme or whatever available that allows you to make more dramatic change to the display.

I like how the TOM TOM looks when its in night mode, it would be cool if the 520 did something similar

If you select Main Menu, Preferences, Maps, Display then there are two radio buttons for Map Colours day or night. Also you can change the colour scheme from a list of choices.

I've had a play with the themes in night and day modes, but I'm a lil disappointed theres not something more dedicated to night mode. Changing the shading for night mode seems a lil lazy on Navmans part. Then again I could just be a fussy

.

Now what would be cool is having the horizon change as night approaches. The software could look at the GPS system time and at a certain preset period the skyline flicks from the blue sky / clouds to stars.

The night mode is a joke and it needs drastically changing and a shortcut on the screen so it can be accessed with little effort.

I fully agree, not only is it buried in a sub-menu but as far as I could tell it was identical to the Day mode!

I have written to Navman regarding the nightmode aspect of this unit which I have only recently purchased.

I will probably use the Navman more during the dark hours expecially in the winter months and as far as I am concerned the night colour schemes are totally unsuitable and bordering on d@m right dangerous unless you remove the navman from your field of vision which totally defeats the object.

If they don't respond in 7 days i will return the unit

The main function of the night mode is that the buttons are illuminated constantly.

Not much of a night mode if only the keys come on....... :P

I emailed Navman also with my thoughts and have yet to get a reply. I wonder if it would be worth trying to find the Manager of NZs contact details and letting them know how badly Navman are at getting back to their customers.

Here's the response I received from Navman on this issue.

Would have been nice if they had said they are developing a suitable scheme or something but that's clearly not the case Rolling Eyes
