On all three of my devices, the proximity circle is white or a light blue. What maps are you using? That's pretty easy to see with the dark background.

I have tried 3 different map sources on my eTrex, and several color theme settings and there is no affect there. It may be coincidental, but I definitely noticed the change from red to yellow when I upgraded to 4.30. @Forkeye I wonder why yours didn't change when you upgraded as well. So strange.

How have you tried that? My proximity circles have always been yellow and I've never found a way to manually change that? Perhaps they vary depending on what you've selected in Setup, Display? I was referring to setting proximity alarms manually on the unit, vs setting them in basecamp and then downloading them to the unit. I hope we can figure this out. Forkeye's unit displays in red, sussamb's unit has always displayed them as yellow, and my unit has displayed them in both red and yellow. So, we know that it is possible to change, that's a start! Thanks for the input so far!

Interesting that you are getting a different color circle on the same unit with the same firmware. I tried changing my track color and that did not have any affect. It seems that since we are having different colors, there must be a setting somewhere that controls this but I sure can't figure out what it is.

I have an eTrex 30 which I often use proximity alarms with. The radius for which I set the alarm used to display on my map screen as a red circle, however, I recently upgraded to the latest firmware (4.30) and they now display in a light yellow color. The problem is that the maps I use have a very similar background color most of the time, making these nearly impossible to see in most cases. I downgraded my firmware back to 4.10 - the version which the unit came equipped with, but this did not fix the problem so I've gone back to version 4.30. I was curious if anyone is aware of a way to manually set the color for these proximity circles on the eTrex 30? I have tried setting them manually on the unit itself, and also in Garmin Basecamp but both methods yield the same result. Below is a screen shot of the yellow proximity circle from my eTrex, and another print screen from a proximity circle around a waypoint in basecampe.
