    Hrm, for me it’s actually the opposite, although I only see the light mode while driving. But for that in particular, roads and ways are much much easier to make out.

      I just strongly disagree with this. In light mode, roads are way more blaring. That makes them easier to see against the background. But makes it harder to see everything else. IE, if I drive to a 5 way intersection, it’s extremely difficult to tell which road is highlighted as the path for me to take. Because everything stands out, the actual DIRECTIONS don’t stand out from everything else.

      I dont care about seeing roads that aren’t the ones I’m taking very well. While navigating, all I care about is where I’m going and maybe like counting how many cross roads or intersections till I turn. When I’m searching for things, I don’t care about roads, I care about seeing balloons. And as EVERYTHING has more contrast, the results/selections don’t stand out as much and it’s harder to read.

      I do wonder if maybe this becomes a rural vs city sort of thing. Maybe that’s not a big problem with rural driving and fewer roads? But harder when there’s a bunch of roads in one place?
