I am trying to do the Southern Pacific Sunset route from Tucson Arizona to Benson and am just starting. Well I downloaded the newest version of DEMEX and began downloading dem.sdts.tar files from mapmart.com. When I used Clicked on open in DEMEX and on one of the files it just said "ERROR READING DEM FILES" I have already gone and done the route in the RGE. Is there anything i can do, or should i just give up now since no one usually helps me. Support our troops...They would support you if you had to kick someones ass!-SVTS Live!

I was going to tell you to go to John's forum here, but it appears to be down right now. IIRC there is a problem with the .gz compression on some files. Try this; Take one of your .tar.gz files and unzip it once. It should now be a .tar file (no .gz anymore). Do not unzip any further than this. Now try and open the problem file. Hope this helps. If not post back....we'll get it figured out.
DEM-EX is faster if you have put the DEM deta thought Microdem and saved it as a MD DEM file.It might just be faster if you use 10 meter DEM deta...http://groups.msn.com/MSTSNarrowGauge Jonathan Lewis jonathanmlewis@msn.com
