Sweden: Notice the area without elevation data (in which I live...) http://pics.ww.com/v/AnMaster/fgfs/bugs/fgfs-altproblem.png.html And this one is just strange (North Canada): http://pics.ww.com/v/AnMaster/fgfs/bugs/fgfs-altproblem-canada.png.html Could you maybe use some other data for this area to make it at least possible to fly a bit in these areas. Patch up the areas where STRM is lacking with something else instead.
