Hello,
when I do the navigation I see the blue colour where I have to drive.
I want to change this because the german highways are blue too.

How can I change this?

regards
John Deere

You need to create a new dependent render.xml.

I have attached the simplest form.
Change the color code to your liking. It's a RGB hexadecimal value (an "HTML" value) in RRGGBB format.
In case you have 8 characters the first two determine the transparency.

When finished save it to osmand/rendering

Or go to "Menu / Configure screen / Map style", and try the "Touring view" instead of "default".
 
It has some more contrast for many roads, uses a road color pattern more aligned with many commercial road atlases, and maybe better avoids the navigation color issue being too similar with some colors used for highways.

Ah, good answer, thank you! I discovered a similar problem yesterday — the default red line that I seem to have to mark my route is almost indistinguishable from 'A' roads in the UK, but I didn't know how to change it. This should do the trick.  :)
