HiRes Terrain FOV

[sefg]

I have installed the HiRes N.A. terrain and noticed that when zooming out to 500 nm range the terrain does not fill the field of view. Any idea as to why?


The terrain in the photo below is based on a GPS location at CYOW (Ottawa, Canada).

In its current implementation, the terrain does stop drawing as you get fairly far out. When you're up north, like you are, you see a bit less than if you were further south because the longitudinal lines pinch together (and the map is tiled in lat/long).

Memory limitation?  That would be my guess since the sheer number of data points is so large...

Maybe they need to load the low-res data as well to allow zooming out into space?
