Description:
Google Maps Navigation – Dark Mode (Community Update)

This is an updated version of the popular Google Maps Navigation Night mod, originally created by Sinagrit Baba.
The goal of this mod is to make the in-vehicle navigation screen look and feel like Google Maps Navigation, with clean visuals and realistic design.

What This Mod Does
  • Simulates a Google Maps–style in-vehicle navigation screen
  • Updated colors, map icons, and player arrow
  • Speed limit indicator moved to the upper-right corner
  • More realistic and modern GPS appearance

Compatibility
  • Compatible with game versions 1.53 – 1.57
  • Works in single player and Convoy mode
  • ❌ Not compatible with TruckersMP

IMPORTANT – Load Order

Your load order depends on whether you are using map mods or only the vanilla map.

No Map Mods (Vanilla Map Only)

You only need the main mod.
Recommended Load Order (Top → Bottom):

  • Google Maps Navigation Dark Mode
  • Other mods

⚠️ If you are using dashboard reskins or interior UI mods, place this mod below them to prevent crashes or conflicts.

Using Map Mods (ProMods, RoExtended, etc.)

  • A compatible Background Map (for example, a ProMods background map)
