Wrong Track Colour [Bug 72]

Unread post by terry-uk »

If I change the track colour on my Montana 700 to yellow it shows on the map as red. Is this a bug or could a colour file be missing or corrupted? Changing to any other colour work fine.

Which firmware version is your Montana 7x0 using?

Duplicated here with Firmware 9.20.

I can confirm on my device. Yellow is being shown as red.

Seems it's introduced with the 9.20 update.
I just tested mine with 8.50 and it worked ok, setting yellow = yellow.
Updated to 9.20, tested again, setting yellow = red.
Same for both current and saved tracks, all other colours work correctly.
