How to Change Tom Tom Color Scheme

The TomTom Global Positioning System guides you to your destination through voice directions and by plotting your route on colorful, three-dimensional maps. Though the colors work well in most cases, you may sometimes find them too intense for constant viewing or too subtle to distinguish patterns. If you are colorblind, you may be unable to distinguish certain colors at all. Fortunately, there is an easy way to change the TomTom color scheme.

      Page through the different color schemes. When you find one you can use, tap "Select." The "Select a Night Color Scheme" screen appears.

      Go through the same process to choose a night color scheme. When you are finished, the "Preferences" page re-appears. Tap "Done" to return to the three-dimensional display.

Tips & Warnings

  • Note that these procedures apply specifically to the TomTom One but apply generally to all versions of the GPS.

  • Unfortunately, there is no "Default" option to return the scheme to the original. Instead, you can pick "Belgica" for the day and "Antartica" for the night.
