2.4.3 Daytime and night colour profiles
IGO 8 uses different colour profiles during the day and during the night.
• Daytime colours are similar to paper road maps.
• The night colour profiles use dark colours for large objects to keep the average brightness of
the screen low.
IGO 8 offers different daytime and night colour profiles. It can also switch automatically between the
daytime and the night schemes based on the current time and GPS position a few minutes before
sunrise, when the sky has already turned bright, and a few minutes after sunset, before it becomes
dark.
