Black track color hard to see on night theme [Missing Feature 9]

Unread post by ConiKost »

If you open the saved tracks menu on Montana series, you can see on the left side the choosen colors for the tracks. On the night theme, you can only see it very hard, if track color is set to black. I guess, a white box arround it could allow a better difference between the colors. Firmware 9.20.

Garmin replied and want's to improve this.
We come with an update from our engineering team with regards to saved tracks having a white outline like on the GPSMAP 276Cx. We appreciate your feedback as we're always looking for ways to improve our products. This issue will be fixed in a future software update. We don't have an ETA for the software update at this time but we will email you when it is available.

Night mode is fixed, but in day mode, for white color enabled tracks, a black border is still missing in 16.50, 15.00, 15.10 and 15.20.
