The white frame on the white roads and flags IS more confusing than I first thought it would be. The red frame is easiest for me to distinguish followed close by the green and cyan.

Does the frame change its dimensions for monitors with different aspect ratios/resolutions in order to depict the actual area in view?  Your vertical rectangle for the frame in the examples makes me think you are using a similarly oriented screen. Are your examples mock-ups or is the aspect ratio in the mini-map actually independent from the user's monitor and that difference then results in the rectangle taking on a different shape.  (Sorry if I confused matters.  I just don't know that much about coding for displays.)  :P

Bottom line - I prefer a frame in a contrasting color from the white details regardless of the shape of the frame.  :D

Cheers!
