Hi all, for those who might be interested, here is a New map theme....(credit to author).
Wat is a map theme...this is a very small file, called KMTF, and does not utilize a lot of disc space on your unit (10,987 bytes).
When a different Map Theme is selected, the colors used for various mapping items (e.g., background, major and minor roads, highways, etc.) change to more accurately reflect the colors which are generally used in the selected area.
This is what the theme will look like on your unit.
How to get the theme on your unit, simply download the Rar file, extract the custom file to desktop, connect your unit to the pc, open the Garmin drive, look for Themes..(themes are not available on all units) click on map and add the new custom file. Disconnect your unit from the pc, power on your unit, and do the following.
Change the Map Theme:
Touch Settings
Touch Map & Vehicle
Touch Map Theme
Select the desired Map Theme...in this case CUSTOM (a preview appears on the right side of the screen on some devices)
Touch Save
ENJOY.
If you don't like the theme, just revert back to your previous theme.
Regards
Map Theme
