Color Map with Geoshow

I am plotting a contour over the mercator(planar) world map.

And I am successful but when I use the

 geoshow('landareas.shp','FaceColor', [0.5 1.0 0,5])

it eliminates the contour plot on the map.

My code is:

 axesm('mercator','MapLatLimit',[-50 90],'MapLonLimit',[0 250])
 frame on;
 grid on;
 plotm(lat,long,'k')

 contourfm(x,y,z)

Is there anyway to apply the

 geoshow('landareas.shp','Display',[0.5 1.0 0.5])

without losing the contour map.

Thanks,

Amanda

It would look to me as if you should have a "hold on" after the plotm() call.

I've tried that. See the Color Map is covering up the contour map.
