Help - USA Terrain?

Hi



I'm off to Las Vegas tomorrow for a few days and I've discovered a possible problem - but it's one that I won't really be able to prove until I get there.



SkyDemon Plan shows all the terrain correctly, but the maps on the device are completely flat.



If I manually set the position on the device to a UK location, you can see the terrain shading. If I then jump to a US location, there is none.



Does this mean the terrain view won't work? Obviously I can't actually test this until Friday.



Have I missed something obvious?



Cheers,



Steve

Hi



Yep, the .DEM files were there.



Alas, I never got to try it because like a muppet, I forgot my charger cable and the unit must have accidentally been switched on in transit and was dead when I got there. Unfortunately, my GPS uses a non-standard charger connector and can't be charged via USB so there was no way to top it up.



The aircraft had a Garmin 430 so I didn't get lost at least!
