That will show you the two pieces of airspace on top of satellite imagery. Does that help you achieve what you wanted? Thats it! The CTR is still shown, but I lost the graphic for the restricted area?

In this example there is a narrow uncontrolled passage between restricted area R112 to the west and ESSB CTR to the east. I would like to pick some terrain reference as an aiming point, but in this case the map is to coarse to show anything meaningful. Not a big deal, just wanted to make sure I had Skydemon configured to its full potential..

W Group: Forum Members Posts: 18, Visits: 42	+x Tim Dawson - 5/29/2024 8:35:49 AM High resolution terrain refers to the resolution of the terrain elevation data, not the geospatial data (coastlines and lakes etc). What zoom scale is that? Zoom scale is 55k. Are there any options for geospatial data?
