ummm....

there is no W140N19.dem

is it W140N90? N40? S10?

which ever you are after, it should be a round number like 10, 20 140..whatever.

what area are you wanting?

oh, either re-download it, or try renaming the .dem to W140N40

did you put your co-ordinates into the mapmaker?

top right "Input Parameters"

Latitude 44

Longitude -125

Width in Deg. 10

these will get you california.

the lat and long are the upper left corner of your viewing area, width is how big (in degrees) the viewing area is.
