What zoom scale is that? Zoom scale is 55k. Are there any options for geospatial data?

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..

The CTR is still shown, but I lost the graphic for the restricted area?
