One of my pet peeves also!

What artist, this was not an engineer, decided that grey lines on a silver background was a good idea for a speedometer?

Yeah, the speedo is much easier to read at night. Unfortunately I do most of my riding during the day. The speedo does look good though.

Wow, I thought I was the only one wondering why in the heck is the speedometer hard to read during the day, but stands out well at night!

As a work around for me is I set the left field on the navigation screen to Speed under the navigation setup so at a quick glance, it gives road speed.

Does any know if the digital speedo is linked to the transmission or the GPS? My guess is the transmission as the analog speedo matches, line for line the digital speedo on the NAV.

The speed in the nav screen comes from the ECM

It comes from the ECM, same as the dash gauge.

With my PV2 I adjusted the PPUs far enough off (half) to tell, they read identical.

I'm thinking about a fine black texta to mark 60,80 and 100
I also use the gps but on my around Australia trip the infotainment stopped working completely, turned out to be the fuse fell out of its socket.

Huh? My Limited has white numbers against a black background and is easily seen day or night. Are there different gauge setups?

We are talking about the lines at the edge. If you just want to know roughly within 10 MPH how fast you are going, then the numbers are easy to read. But if you want to get within 1 or 2 mph of the speed limit, then you need to see the fine lines at the edge of the gauges. Those are hard to read near the top. At 1-30 they are readable. Above that they tend to fade away in full sun light.
