that's exactly the unit I'm using:

Have you tried a master reset on the vista hcx? maybe you switched of 
showing polygons (that's possible via one of the sub-menus)?

I have attached you a supersmall map as gmapsupp.img, is it also yellow? 
(please zoom in to closer than 2km). Simply unpack and put into /garmin. 
(it's Monaco).
this gmapsupp.img is well showing white background on my vista hcx
