NAV Traffic colors

When I ordered my new 2016 JCW I was real excited reading somewhere the NAV system was one of the premier ones on the market. I've got the car and while the graphics are 'decent', the excitement has turned to moderate disappointment. Almost all NAV systems with traffic have standard colors such as green, orange, and red for no traffic, moderate traffic, and dead stopped traffic. I can't find a guide for the screwy colors on this one in any instructions. If anyone knows of a helpful link could they please post it?

Otherwise, I love the car for the niche market it's in. Nearly 2500 miles with smiles so far.

Interested also. The traffic flow colors are awful.

It's basically the same except they don't use green for free flowing traffic.

Yellow is moderate, red for heavy, black for stop and go.

This isn't the default view though - You can have this view default by going into your navigation options (Traffic View on).

I've tried it with (traffic view on) and most of the layout just turns grey. Makes no sense at all.

Commuting in Dallas, I always see bright red on the west bound side of HWYs in the afternoon and feel lucky when they turn to yellow. I've never seen anything "grey" even at night when all the colors become high contrast. Agree with siriusZero, no use of green.
