<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS","serif"">I had another thought after I sent the first post. Maybe something along the lines of an inside/outside view switcher. The outside mode would self correct based on the
location/time settings. I’m really interested in this automated approach to making the settings change. I have even worked out how I can make the changes to a mapfile could work from a config file. I just need the actual RGB conversion routine to try out
the idea. Optimum settings for those three values you described would get things started, then I would need to figure out the best approach to apply by location/time, (heck, you could even factor in weather conditions down the line . . .)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
