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.
 
  
drawing level 0, and make sure no other is on 0 or it might be displayed 
behind the background. Color mode, no clue. I usually use maptk.
    

OK
 
  
Are you sure that the typfile really got transferred to gps? Are you 
sure you set 0x4b as polygon to white (line 0x4b or poi 0x4b will of 
course not work).
    

Yes, I can change lines and polygons (lakes, etc.) and the changes show
up.

  
Set a really strange color for say residential streets and look if it 
really changes on gps (if it only appears to work....).
    

Yes it does.
 
  
Transparency is NOT set? If map is set as transparent strange results 
might happen with 0x4b defined.
    

No transparency.

Can you please email me a TYP file that sets the background to white so
I can see what the difference is?
  
You can simply download a small country from my website, both thin??.TYP and white??.TYP have white background set.

and try it out and look for differences.

-- oh yeah, when zooming far out yellow kicks in.....
Cheers,

Mark

PS - are you using the extended types in your mtb maps?
