I came across a forum that said you can permantely change the color of the NAVI map
I know how to change the color, but once I turn off my X and turn back on it goes back to that tan/sand color, I want to change it to black all the time
Now w/ a '02 NAVI you can only change the day color not the night..so disregard the night mode color below:
so heres how to change it permantely but I dont understand this stuff...it uses the same program to hack the NAVI screen and change the picture.....can someone help me with this??
Use bysin's console program to extract the contents of the .bin to a directory on your hard drive. (My .bin file is BNHN404A.BIN) If you don't know how to do this, bysin has documented it. http://www.linuxkiddies.com/bysin/navi You have to use the command line version - for now.
After you've extracted the contents of the .bin, open NAVI.EXE (which you extracted from the .bin) with a hex editor. I used XVI32 for my hex editor - you can download it for free (Google it.) Be very careful when hex editing. You want to make sure you only edit the area of the file that contains the color definitions. (I was able to locate these offsets by searching for the values of the default colors.)
The default colors are as follows:
Day mode background = 210 210 160 (or D2 D2 A0 in hex.) This is the RGB representation for the tan background.
Night mode background = 32 32 32 (or 20 20 20 in hex.) This is the RGB for the dark grey - not quite black - background in night mode.
You will find these hex values at the following offsets in the NAVI.EXE file:
Day mode color is at offset 4947E8. (You should see the values for tan here - D2 D2 A0. NOTE: the value string D2 D2 A0 appears only once in the NAVI.EXE file. If you found it, you're at the right place!)
Night mode color is at offset 494848. (You should see the values for dark grey here - 20 20 20. NOTE: the value string 20 20 20 appears LOTS of places in this file. ONLY CHANGE THE ONE AT OFFSET 494848! You've been warned!)
Change these to colors you want, with the RGB values in hex. I chose BD D2 76 for the day mode (a pale green) and 00 00 00 for night mode (pure black.) The tan always made me feel like i was driving in the desert. I like the green much better, but you can of course pick whatever you want. The pure black looks 10x better at night than the grey. Dark blue works well for night mode, too.
