My c550 has all roads that I go on as pink. If I was a girl a women or a women in a mans body I mite like pink roads but I am not. I am just a mam in a man body and I do not like pink. Is there any way I can change the road color. Any color I do not care just not pink.

What are you talking about? And why does your title start with "ho"? And I won't even get into how offensive the comments about girls, women, and a woman in a man's body are.
Are you saying the when you are navigating a route, that the ROUTE is highlighted MAGENTA?
If so, you can't change it.
And it's magenta and not pink.

Magenta is considered a purplish red.
Motorcycle Mama and confusion
I do not like pink maybe it is because I am the only gay in a house with 5 girls/women from 6 to 62 years old. So when I see pink roads on my garmin c550 well no thank you. Is there any way I can change the road color on my garmin c550. Or am I SOL and have to live with it.

And I assume
that you meant "guy" and not "gay" in your comments. What MM said it that the color is magenta. It is not pink, though it can look that way if you want it too.
There is no way to change it, btw.

I feel your pain
Being the only man in the house my entire married life has taken its toll, but I have no problem with the color on the screen of a GPS receiver.
Thank God I have two Grand SONS to help me when they are here.

I thought that it was off-red. I'm sure the purpose is for it to stand out from everything else on the map.

Defintely..
Definitely magenta on my nuvi 260. Not even close to pink. And it's only that color when I'm following a route. Guess maybe one has to be secure in one's maleness to accept it without reservation...

Pink, Magenta,
Does it really matter? As long as it gets you where you have to go!
Not doing anything worth a darn.
Pink
I am a man and I have never understood the problem with wearing a pink shirt. I have a dress shirt and a polo shirt and both are pink. Why does pink have to be a "girls" color to some. I don't get it. Pink is a pretty color just like so many others.

Pink
is what the police chief in San Jose, California painted the jail cells. It calms an irate person down, not saying that any man wearing pink is irate!! I see no reason why a man cannot wear a pink shirt. I like pink! Maybe not on a car, sorry Mary Kay!!

I used to work in a Pepto colored office which irritated me. So much for calming people down.

PINK
Pink ribbon is used for breast cancer and that extends for anything you wear that is pink. I lost a daughter to breast cancer-- and I wear PINK! Also have a PINK road on my GPS, on my truck, on my wrist and pink shirts. I support PINK. Maybe you will understand someday!

It's all the same!
It's pink! The darned route is pink. Magenta is close enough to pink to irritate men just the same. Both of these the are chick colors and don't belong on a piece of technological hardware anyhow. If magenta belonged in a man's world, they'd have called it mangenta! For all you guys wearing pink shirts, you either got 'em from your wives, boyfriends, or, girlfriends, and therefore feel obligated to wear them, or you never played with guns when you were a child.
If pink or magenta were good colors for a GPS route, they also would have had different names, like blue, or green!
p.s. I'm totally kidding...the pink used by Garmin is fine, if not a bit irritating to look at. My wife, two sons, and my daughter agree with me and were actually first to point this out!
