I believe I have a solution for this.
The default background colour of a Garmin map is yellow. You would
expect to be able to change this by setting the colour of polygon type
0x4b, using a .TYP file. But some Garmin devices refuse to change the
background colour.
I have done some tests with an

You cannot change the color of the Background - it appears to be
hardcoded

My TYP works on my eTrex Legend HCx which is very similar.

No, maybe you could check if your last shown polygon disappears at the

No, e.g. forests and lakes still show up at 2 km .

assume GPS?)
Yes, GPS.

I've got it to work on a Legend HCx except it I zoom a very long way out

Could you please email that typ file to me?
Also, what levels are you using?

Hi Felix.
Strange, try to look in gpsmapedit what polygon is used for background.
Have you patched it to 0x4a, i have seen some people doing that (though
I don't know what for)?
No, it's still 0x4b.

Hi Felix,
You can simply download a small country from my website, both thin??.TYP
and white??.TYP have white background set.
http:///openmtbmap.org/download
and try it out and look for differences.
Err, I can't read that archive format, please just email me a TYP file.
Cheers,

I've had zero success in setting the background colour on the etrex. I
can happily change styles of lines and polygons so the type file is
working to a degree.
Has anyone managed to change the background colour on an etrex vista
hcx?
Thanks
