Humm. Yes, quite a few things wrong here. :-)

I'd start by reading these articles:

http://www.dfanning.com/tips/map_pmulti.html
http://www.dfanning.com/tips/map_image.html
http://www.dfanning.com/color_tips/fill_colors.html

Digest the information there, then let's see where you are.

Redraw the grids, with MAP_GRID, after you have done everything else.

Cheers,

David
