I tried to improve the colormap of our favorite GPS soft !
because I find that the default colormap is not very realistic ...
I'd like to clarify that I have optimized the colormap for western europe , particularly the areas around the Alps. It may be that some colors are not very realistic for other countries ... if so, tell me, I can easily optimize it depending on your country if you give me the tendancy colors for each major altitude ...
At 0 meter altitude close to the beach ...
Old color without sand :-( on the left ... and nice new color on the right !
At 500 meters altitude in a nice green valley ...
Old color ... and new optimised color coresponding to the real nature !
At 1000 meters altitude ... mid-mountain
Old color seems desertic region ... while new color represents a beautiful fir-tree forest characteristic of this altitude !
At 2000 meters altitude ... high mountain and view of the valley ...
Old color without vegetation ... and nice new color more realistic !
Enjoy new dayheightcolormap.bmp for free !
To change the 3D colormap , just put the dayheightcolormap.bmp file in the folder ui_igo8/common
And my next work is to optimize this colormap for each season !
With a lot of snow on mountains for the winter and yellow-red-brun forests for the automn ...
Watch this blog regularly !
New enhanced colormap !

very good work for colormap .. thx
Hi buddy2007
Super work!
I'm using IGO8 on MIO P550 – release 29000.
Can you tell me please what to do with the file "dayheightcolormap" that I have download from your blog.
Thank you,

I know there are also these two:
nightheightcolormap.bmp
psyheightcolormap.bmp
Where can I find them? Thanks!
Yes, in the data.zip you have also nightheightcolormap.bmp, psyheightcolormap.bmp and navheightcolormap.bmp ... but I don't know what is the real usage of these files :-(
night is certainly for night navigation, but I think it's not necessary to change ... it's good enough , all is black !
and for the two others, I tried to make some changes but I haven't see any difference on the final result ... perhaps someone knows what are they do ?
I don't like to see all landscapes at night as completely black, I prefer to see them as under moonlight. Can you try to make a version of nightheightcolormap in grayscale dark? I'd like to identify landscapes also at night. Thanks!
Ok, I will try as soon as possible ...
Hi, which reslotuin must have my PDA to make your color working? I'm using a P350 Mio, can it works?
Tks.
Looks very nice and thanks for your hard work, unfortunely the link is broken. :(
