Perhaps this is a shortcut to get other colors out there quicker. The original is awesome. But we all want a custom one, so for the Photoshop educated check this out: nvi utilities. Its a script that breaks the .srf into a png that you can edit, and then you can put the .png back as a .srf

I changed the car color to orange and put it back together as a .srf. I don't have a Garmin so I can't do any testing to see how this works.

I'm not taking requests to make colors, I just wanted to put this tool out there to help the color process.

I tried this method a while back with mixed results. Everything seemed okay when it was still in Photoshop and even when I converted it back to .srf, but when I loaded it on to my Garmin there was this weird semi-transparent box around the vehicle.

It wasn't as noticeable when it was in daytime mode, but it was REALLY obvious in night mode.

I have since traded in my 07 for a 09 TW, so I stopped trying. The red Fit is fine for now, but I'll eventually get around to changing it to white... maybe. It'd be really cool if someone could come up with an 09 too!

Hi,

I know this may be too much to ask of the TS to create a whole series of Fit/Jazz with all the colors available in live Fit/Jazz models.

Thus, would it be possible to have some simple guide which I can see if anyone here (in SG FJC forum) can help to produce these Garmin GPS vehicle icons?

Hey guys, I made that original Red Fit icon. It was my intention to eventually make additional icons in other colors as time allowed, but after my 2nd son was born... well I guess I don't need to explain why I have *zero* free time now.

I'll see what I can do as far as putting together some instructions and links if anyone else wants to pick up the torch.

Later,
Chris

Hi R2D2,

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude for the initial Milano Red Honda Fit .png file.

We have pick up where you have left off and created a few other colors (work still in progress).

For those interested to check out other colors, please visit the thread in Fit-Jazz-Club (Singapore)

It requires registration and I couldn't get past the anti-spambot question -- even with the right answer!

Same here. I have been using the red one since it first came out. I would realy like a BOM one to match my car.


@ Trogdor!

TROGDOR! TROGDOR!

Trogdor was a man!
I mean, he was a dragon man!
Er, maybe he was just a dragon, but he was still
TROGDOR! TROGDOR!
Burninating the countryside
Burninating all the peasants
Burninating all the peoples
And their thatched roof cottages!
Thatched roof cottages!


When the town is left in ruins
And burnination has forsaken the countryside
Only one guy will remain and my money is on

TROGDOR! TROGDOR! AND THEN TROGDOR COMES IN THE NIGHT!

Coolness! I was hoping for a Blazing Orange Metalic but the yellow looks like it may be close. I will try it tonight and see how it looks on the Garmin.

There is no Orange Revolution Metallic for Honda Jazz in asia (yet). Thus, need a sample of the exact color and see if the graphic artist willing to create one or not.

Right now, I am coverting the black.
