Thanks - this worked a treat. I'm now flying at 32000 feet over the breathtaking, er, sea. Oops - looks like I picked the wrong tile set :)
I wasn't sure if you figured this out:
Lat=87 and Long=28 would be a polar location, somewhere north of Murmansk.
Lat =28 and Long=87 is on the China/Nepal border
