|

Hi, I've noticed on my TT ONE that the roads I'm on sometimes appear red (more often than not) and the turns and roundabouts appear green, instead of all the roads being green. Why is this? What does it mean? Thanks. |

I take it that you are navigating a Route.
The Route is marked as reddish brown and the points where there is a turn, or a manoeuvre, is marked in green. This is more noticeable on a roundabout. _________________ Richard

So when would the roads appear green then? Or do they not appear green, and I imagined it? |

They appear green wherever you have to turn or take an exit on a roundabout. If you view Route and Browse as images you can see each turn on that route, and the road is green, with an arrow head.
In Browse Map, if you select a road, the road will turn green to indicate which one is selected. _________________ Richard

I think you might find that it is where the road classification changes. A road near me changes from red to yellow

If you have a look at the map colour scheme editor, there a huge numbers of options for different colours for different types of road.
I use a custom scheme (GB-New) and find the default one really confusing when I use someone else's TomTom now! |
