Where do you put the DEM files? I checked documents/plan g files and c/plan g. I can't locate the folder..Thanks

Create a folder named Dem under documents/plan g and put the files in there. It worked.

Did you create a folder under "My Documnents/Plan-G Files called DEM? Did you then populate the folder with the appropriate DEM files from http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/topo/gltiles.html. After downloading them you need to "unzip" them and put them in the DEM folder.  Re-start Plan-G, create a simple flight plan. Then, under the "View" tab in Plan-G make sure the "Plan Elevation" is highlighted.

Hi Joe..
Thanks for the reply...went back to it this morning and all's well. I suspect it's because I didn't re-start P-G  :-[ Apologies. Still getting used to the new format. Glad that it's got all my ZA Farm Strips on it though.  :)
Best wishes
