Also, my etrex vista hcx has always ignored the colour of the 0x4b poly so you're lucky it works at all!

I think I saw it working with my map on a friend's Vista HCx recently. Is it possible that it depends on how the TYP file was made? I don't understand why different Garmin units and Mapsource versions behave so differently - the data format is their own invention after all. If your patch has advantages for others you might make it an option.
