Editing Garmin map themes

 

crying
Hi
I have a Garmin nuvi2797LTM (great navigator.)
I want to edit the map themes to make them more readable.
I want to change route colours some background colours etc.
I know how to do that using a text editor. My problem is that when I copy the files back into the menu list which opens on the computer they appear there but do not appear in the map themes list of the unit during operation.
Please can you help?
Thanks
Eric

The theme files are KTMF. If you edit them in Notepad, be sure to not save it as a "text document", it must still register as a "KMTF document". The Garmin won't recognize text documents even if they have the .kmtf extension.

My advice to you would be to copy an existing theme into the Theme folder, Open with Notepad, and then save from there (but don't "Save As...").

Thanks for the input. Got me on the right track and solved my problem.
I couldn't use Notepad as it won't let me save saying it is a read only file which it was not?
Using TextWrangler on my mac no problem.
Thanks again
Eric
