What theme do you have selected ?

Settings - Map & Vehicle - Map theme. (I think it will be)


Or it might be the display settings - which some models retain separately : when they are connected to power they are 100% bright, when not, they will dim as low as 10%
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !

Thanks for the images.
Its not just the colours, the map is presented differently.

Did you check which theme was active for both screens. I cant see that is would change, but I don't mind clutching at straws.
Stumped. Completely.

How old is the unit?

Your heading has changed - which might reveal why we are stumped.

My understanding was that the BMW Nav 6 was based on the Zumo 595. I also read that BMW parted ways from Garmin after that point.

The ConnectedNavigator appears to be a very different beast from the Garmins. I have no experience with it at all.


There are discussion on a BMW forum - eg https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/bmw- ... r.1671763/. You may have to register (free). You might get a more informed response from there. But keep tuned in here as there are a few AdvRider members that use our pages to glean information about the Nav5 and Nav6.

@lkraus - have you seen anything that might help ?
