« Reply #17 on: September 13, 2004, 12:13:16 PM »
In the command promt of the mapmaker w/some locations on the globe I'll get this reading bad data and part of the visual will be spiked in portions but you can still see a good part of the map is this anything z or Mr have experianced and if so how can I correct, also wondering are there other dem files else where that can be used?

Winace tip...

Open win ace manualy
go to view "top left its by file" then options,

You can then set compression level,
increase dictionary size for Extreem compression.
And create recovery and check crc after compression.

Combine win ace with sfx factory and create setup modules Like a pro.

if you cant beat it .....
use it :)

I'm trying out Mapmaker, how long does it usually take to do a "load data"..  It's been running for the last hour, I'm starting to wonder if its not working for me....

It takes about 10 seconds or less on my machine, you may not have the DEM file you need.
