A couple more questions...

1) Are your lat, lon in radians when you call convertLatLongHeightToXYZ?
2) Have you tried viewing your database (terrain.ive) with osgviewer to see
what it looks like (osgviewer terrain.ive)? If you can't see your database
with osgviewer, then there's a problem with your database.

I use the exact same methods and my stuff works fine for viewing the terrain
given a lat,lon,alt with a geocentric database. As for osgdem, the only
difference is that I'm using a pagedLOD database and I'm using osgTerrain...

Here's the osgdem command I use...

osgdem --TERRAIN -PagedLOD --geocentric --whole-globe -t wholeearthtexture
-t texturedir -d elevationdir -l 24 -o geodatabase.ive

coordinatetransformation

I am using osg::EllipsoidModel::convertLatLongHeightToXYZ() method to
convert the coordinates as such:

osg:::EllipsoidModel em;
em.convertLatLongHeightToXYZ(_lat,_long,_alt, x,y,z);

when building the model I used osgdem with the following parameters:
osgdem --geocentric  -d  dted_dir  -o terrain.ive 

dted_dir contains dted files in a certain directory structure defined in
dted-standard. I checked the validty of the dted with a commercial software,
the geographic ranges are consistent with osgdem without --geocentric
parameter (I looked at the contents of the height field of the first
subtile:  lod=0) so there is no problem with the input file, I am sure of
that.
