    Default

    The problem is that CN Typ file is empty!!!
    So if you add 0x10d01 and draw order 1, this polygon covers the entire map and you have to manually add all City and Water polygons and give them draw order 2 and 3 so that rivers are drawn over city polygons.
    You have to add all ot them, because we don't really Know how many of them Garmin uses in the CN maps and nobody can visually check so big maps see if anything is missing (not drawn).
    But because of our nice conversation here (thanks for the ...trigger ) I tried something i've never done with CN.
    I added 0x10d01 with no draw order and the polygon was drawn under all other polygons which kept their default draw order!!!!
    So instead of adding 30 or so polygons and altering their default draw order, we simply add one polygon with no draw order, much easier especially for people with limited experience with Typ files.


    EDIT:
    This works fine with the 205w and 60csx
    With GarminMobilePC the City polygons are drawn under the background polygon, everything else is OK
    With 3490 unfortunately it doesn't work at all, the background polygon is transparent or not readable by a NT map, because I use this "no draw order" trick successfully with nonNT maps when I don't want to alter the default draw order of the other polygons.
