APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q135335

SYMPTOMS

When the Map View is Zoomed In to reveal individual street locations, Road Names cannot be viewed. This is because the text lettering is white and the background is white.

CAUSE

On the Map tab, when you select Black as the Colored background, Road Names turn white. When you remove the Colored background, the white Road Names cannot be viewed because the background color is also white.

RESOLUTION

On the Map tab, located on the Map Display Options menu, change the Colored background option from black to white.

Road names now display in black on a white background.

MORE INFORMATION

Other colors affect the Road Name functionality. The loss of Road Names depend upon the color selected. If the Road Name disappears, use the resolution provided.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Automap Streets version 4.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
