Load the scenario and then choose to edit instead of play. In the edit screen, choose settings, then click on auto map labels, and pick a color (the best color depends on your main terrain of course - I think yellow usually works best).

look at map using the map screen. If color isn't good, then go back to set settings, REMOVE map labels, then set automap labels again with different color.

Then SAVE the scenario with different name (Netherlands 1940 with map labels.pt2 for example).

Then quit and load that scenario and play.

This only takes a minute to do and once you've done it for a scenario, you dont have to do it again. You can't toggle them off and on during the game, but this works for me.
