How to change the colour of a route in MRA

[Berin]

Is it possible? I've got a few routes I'm viewing on the screen, but they are all black - is it possible to change the colour?

If you use the 'add routes' feature to see them on screen at the same time, it makes all the routes a different colour.

It has! Weird, I did that on my Mac in route planner and the 2 key routes came up black.

Just done it now on route planner on the iPad and they are different colours.

Thanks!

Thank you - tried it on my Mac with three routes and the colours are different.

After I'd found the "Add Route" feature

I think it picks the colours randomly. I guess it chose black?

You can change the colour, choosing from quite an extensive colour palette.

Thanks Wapping - didn’t know that.

I’m a bit red/green deficient so that will help.

Where’s that option, Wapping? Is it only available in the “add routes” view?

It would be helpful to be able to change the colour of a route but I think there’s not an option at the moment

Found it - click the little coloured square

I've failed again Berin - where is the little coloured square ?

 

[wilbjr21]

Got it now - located in the Add Route menu

Good learning day today

Is this on the navigator part of MRA? I haven’t got the Nav bit and certainly can’t find it on the original MRA App

That's the one!
Route lab>routes select a route
Hamburger>select Routes>add routes
MRA chooses a colour but with a bit of careful clicking select the little coloured square and choose your colour

Me too! Its a pain in the bum......I need a responsible adult beside me if I'm trying to wire something like an RJ45 connector to tell me the colours otherwise it would be chaos.

Welcome.

I usually change the route coloured offered up, to something which doesn’t match too with the underlying map but still stands out. Magenta is good, as is purple.

Only just seen this thread Wapping. Not able to try it yet but can you tell me if the colour is a lot lighter, will you be able to see the road numbers and names of towns/villages etc as when Ive tried it the black just covers any details. Thanks.

I don’t much care about being able to see the road numbers / town names, when creating routes.

Ok. I'll have to find someone that does.

You can change the transparency of the colour in the same control panel.

Thanks Wilbjr21. I'll try that

You can also adjust the transparency
