I ran into the GWV crossing (again) the tile boundary at 42.2 degrees north while building my own version of the E.B.T. I've done this once before at the same border, last time building north from Silverton, Colorado. But last time the terrain appeared a few seconds before the camera reached it, and the terrain you left disappeared a few seconds after the camera left.Strangely, though, last time terrain wasn't there until the last minute - no matter which way you crossed the border. This time, however, the terrain just past the border just didn't appear. This one I'm building with a marker file, and they appear at 0 elevation.Anyhow, I wondered if anyone knows why it caused problems differently each time. Could I rename the .w files so they for the tile just south of them, then re-DEM it with the terrain shifted down one tile and redo the marker files, so everything is one tile south of reality? That would make the whole route be south of the GWV line.I need to talk to whoever put Colgate Grove (where I'm stopping the route) just above the GWV line!
