Default White background on City Navigator!

Here is how the standard version of City Navigator 2009 NT looks on a Garmin 278:



Brown roads against brown background. But it's actually quite simple to replace the brown background with white and also give the roads more distinctive colors:



The readability in direct sunlight is dramatically improved. Works with 276C, 278, 60, 76, eTrex and a few more Garmin models.

The .typ files required for updating City Navigator 2008 NT and City Navigator 2009 NT can be downloaded from here.

The tool I have used to create the .typ files is here.
