ok... so i ripped an iso image to my computer uploaded a few PIM's i created from JPG's to the BG folder and the dvd works great, i went to change the background picture and i get the image "ghosted" over a frozen pic of my current location on the nav map. Anyone know what is going on? It loks like my image is transparent and fragmented over the nav image, i hope that description is good.

Further i changed the BGOPEN.JPG to one of my choice but i do not know how to a. reset the unit to load it or b. i dontknow if i need to change the bgopen.pim as well

any answers would be greatly appreciated

OH, its an N2 with the cd-50MT software if that matters

Look in your manual for your reset button...and I also had images to that....I just don't use them now...not sure why they do that....

That happpens if you use "exotic/bright/reflective" colors like silver or even a simple gradient.

The D1 can not figure out the complex colors, so it displays them as transparent.

yep, the colors are different on the avics then your computer, so white is actually clear, or something like that

Interesting:

What colors are the same on my computer and on my avic? Black?
