In task, edit, the zones are clearly shown but they are not
transferring to the map....any idea what I am doing wrong?


A possible reason is you have entered some crazy size parameter in the
OZ values for that turnpoint in the task edit screen and either the OZ
is so small it does not show up on the map or so large it covers your
whole viewing area (and might be possible to miss noticing depending
on what OZ colors and map backgrounds you have selected). Both will
show an OZ automatically scaled in the task edit screen.

Failing that I cannot imagine a combination of colors and transparency
and terrain settings etc. that would result in the start/finish OZ but
not turnpoint OZ being visible in the task edit page but not on a main
map. But who knows - try setting the task OZ colors to solid and say
bright red fill (no transparency) and red line and see if they show
up. Try different combinations of terrain/map data being on or off
just to see if there is a bug.
