create your own color scheme

In a previous article we have downloaded a new color scheme file named karl.zip. Now we want to make some modifications to this file. First of all we copy this file to the pc and rename the file from karl.zip to myscheme.zip. Next step is to unzip this file, this zip file containes following files:
color.ini
texture.bmp
texture.spr

If we open the color.ini in a text editor then we see at first the following lines
[INFO]
name="Karl"
night=0

The value for variable name is the name we see in Mio or in IGo, lets change this name in name="mycolormap", the lines look like this:
[INFO]
name="mycolormap"
night=0

When we look further then we see lines such as:
a = "0_int", 255, 255, 0
A = "0_ext", 255, 0, 0

The first letter identifies the type of road, lowercase stands for inside color, uppercase stands for outside color. The 3 numbers represent the color in RGB, 255,255,0 = yellow and 255,0,0 = red. We can see on the picture that the highway in the Karl scheme is yellow with a red line on the outside. Suppose we want to change the motorway color in a special green color, this color is 153,255,153. Now we change the lines to:
a = "0_int", 153, 255, 153
A = "0_ext", 255, 0, 0

Zip the 3 files back to myscheme.zip and place it on the \My Flash Disk\miomap\miomap\scheme directory. Now we can select mycolormap in the map options menu.

	karl
	mycolormap

Road types:
a = motorway, autobahn
b = U roads, U- und Europastrasse (aber nicht Autobahn bzw Schnellstrasse)
c = highway/federal highways, K-roads, bundesstrasse
d = highways, large major roads, bundesstrasse
e = road K and U, ausserort Verbindungsstrasse
f = connecting roads within the city, innerorts Nebenstrasse
g = one-way streets, verbindungsweg
h = side streets - city center, nebenstrasse in der Stadt
i - r = ?
s = highway, schnellstrasse
u = unpaved roads, nicht asphaltiert
v = poor road, slechtes
z = pedestrian precinct, fussgaengerzone

nice to see you use my map colors as example. But its not my newest one - want that one also for a mapcolors-collection?
In my newest file are only few changes, no red at all because that color is reserved for TMC events and lighter background (green should be for wood only). So it looks more like a usual papermap now.

Very interesting article. I wanted to know how can I change the color of road numbers (they are usually colored white inside a red or green box (at day) or blue box at night. In daytime, I find it very difficult to see the road number. It would be more visible to have the road number colored black.

My Mio C230 doesn't list the new color scheme on the menu when I try to activate it.

Hi there, this looks like it is going to be a good site for info.
But prior to your article could you answer a quick question please?
I use nng uk day map on a navigo with I-GO 8 navngo.
the problem is the route is a bright green on a green background most of the time when outside a city. I wish to to change it to a dark red.
I have been comparing various color.ini files but cannot identify the particular parameter which highlights the route, is it planned_road, can you help please.
