Hi! I am not sure whether this is the correct ML for this posting, but I think it is not completely wrong. I saw that the colour palette used in the online Typ file editor has too few and some wrong colours, almost for my Garmin Etrex Legend HCx. So I extracted the colour palette of a Garmin waypoint icon and built a webpage that shows the correct colours (at least for my L:egend, I don't know whether it is the same for other Garmins with 265 colours, but I think so): http://www.deltadelta.de/garmin_colours/ You can also download all the pages for offline use: http://www.deltadelta.de/garmin_colours/garmin_colours.zip When you click on one colour you get a page completely coloured in this colour with the hex representation for better cutting and pasting it into the editor. And also because a colour can better be judged when a big area is coloured. (A wall painted looks always different from the small sample in the shop ...) Perhaps someone will find it useful. Dani

Dani, Thanks for making this - very useful. Have a look here too for more on Garmin colour palettes and optimising your TYP file to match: http://clic0.free.fr/spip.php?article28 (in French) -- Charlie

Sorry for re-posting to an old message, but I recently found GarminColor: http://www.naturegps.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=961 This is a little app containing the colour palette for Garmin GPS's with 256 colours. It also has a handy colour picker which lets you choose any colour on your monitor and find out if it's in the palette or not. If it isn't, it suggests the nearest colours that are. It's very useful to help build colour schemes that have the right contrast. The source code is available on request, as far as I can tell. -- Charlie
