Is it possible to increase the visual contrast level of the Edge 1030 maps?

Hello everyone! I'm noticing that custom maps with Google Earth images (or even BirdsEye) appear in a much clearer tint compared to what I see on my computer. Any tips on that respect on how to leave the image with more contrast or even more saturated? Grateful.

In the Activity Profile you use, under Navigation/ Map I think there is a high contrast option you can enable. I never used it but I think it changes the colours. Now the screen technology Garmin uses is very low power consumption compared to a smartphone, which is great for battery life. However it is nowhere as capable in terms of colours. It is a good choice for this kind of device and their screen works well in sunlight but it is a tradeoff when it comes to colours.

Great settings friend. It makes a lot of sense to save energy. And I'll see that this solves my claim. Thank you.

I am in the Navigation/ Map menu but cannot find such an option. Where could it be?
