[mkgmap-dev] Strange squares on Garmin GPS device

Fri Mar 29 10:21:34 GMT 2013

Hi Gerd, hi Josef,

success!!! Here's what I did:

- deleted transparent option from .cfg-file
- edited TYP file: set all polygons to draw order 2 and added 0x4b 
polygon with draw order 1

So it was a combination of both of your ideas.

Thank you a lot and Happy Easter!

Thomas
