If you want to have bold text, you can do it in System settings->Accessibility->Display text->Bold (switch)
Unfortunately, as I saw, this option does not apply to text size on the map. In the system settings there is a lot of other option but most of them has no effect. Eg. there is a possibility to change system language (like in Android) but this has effect only on base OS not on Karoo App. Unfortunately text size is unavailable to change :(

  Hi Gregory,

  Thanks once again for your valuable input on the Karoos UI! I have ensured that I share it further with the team for their reference!

  I am sure a lot of other users will benefit from bold texts on the Karoo screen as well! We hope to improve this experience in the future!

  Thanks @Akhil. It would be very nice to have some simple toggles in Karoo's settings, without having to go into the base OS settings and search for deeply hidden options.

  would love to have the option for bold text as well on my Karoo (3).  How do I get to the settings for this?  I cant find it under the regular system menu?

  First turn on dveloper option like in Android devices. Settings->About->Build number and click on this a few time to appear txt 'now you are developer'.
  Now the developer option will apear in settings menu. You can find All aps menu too. In this menu there is a system settings menu->accessibility->Text and display->Bold text switch

  It is not simple way to find, so, I ask about simple switch directly in Karoo settings.

  Ah fantastic, thanks for that Gregory! That's so so much easier to read, what with my aging eyes.

  You weren't wrong about it not being easy to find. Even with your clear instructions, it's well In to bowel of the system settings hey.

  Akil, it would be great to see that option. Maybe under the Settings / Display?

  You need to look & think with your intuition - When you've activated the developer mode - go back into the Karoo Settings Menu and scroll to the new option [Apps] Click on it and scroll to the Settings icon (the one with the gear icon) Click again - now you get several options - click at [Open]. Scroll down to [Accessibility] and click on [Text and display] Succes !

  Thread title is misleading as K2 does not have an Accessibility menu inside dev mode

  @Jim I updated the title. So, K3 only.
