Plot color in map

I made several trips with the bike, and I have to adjust the color of the path on red, but when I consult it is of cyan color, a technician has indicated to me a procedure which consists of making an factory reset pus in the settings of the map to adjust the color of the plot, I performed this procedure and I find that it is still cyan when I set to red. Is it the same in you?

    If you are talking about the track colour being the same post workout in the Fenix 5x map then the latest beta found at the top of this section gives you that option

    in fact I always use the 5.40, but despite the setting it remains cyan should I use the 5.84 beta?

    Same issue here. Using 5.40
  • With firmware 5.40 the track colours you see in the history are always cyan. You can control the track colour for the current activity, but not the historical activities. For me I set the colour to pink and this worked fine for the current activity.

    In order to control the colour of the historical activities you need to update to the beta 5.84 firmware. After updating to 5.84 I see my historical activities also in pink.

    how i set the color of the track in the currnet activity ?
  • Settings->Map->Track Color if you have each app set to "Use Sys. Settings". Otherwise set this within the app itself in the same Map->Track Color setting.
  • Sorry to insist, but not fully clear here ! Are you talking about the color of the track that you want to follow in navigation ? And i'm waiting for this option too, so even more eager to have next firmware release...
    Or you are talking only about the current track that is plotting in your back, and for which the color option is already available in general map setting. Mine is set to yellow.
    Thanks for the clarification
  • Current track is already possible to change, they are discussing new oprion in beta- changing of colour of track when you look after ride, this has not been possible yet, only in new beta 5.83.

    We are talking about the current track (all firmware versions) and historical track from saved activities (requires firmware 5.84beta or 6.0). I know of no options to control the colour of the track you want to follow.
