map color issues

[Kristin]

I was trying to show a student where Gilgal and Bethel are located in relation to modern nations, and you can see we had a super difficult time.

 

I finally set it to tribe boarders, and then we could finally see, but I am hoping there is a way to have a "modern boarders". I had not seen it, but if it is there could someone show me how to access it?

 

Also, is there a way to change the color of the lands? They are WAY too dark for the purpose they are serving. The same colors but 40% the density would be perfect.

 

Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
