Hi Matt,



we know that the map generator is sometimes/often broken due to overload. There is one utility application (gdalwarp) that we use to generate the terrain map that is using very many resources of the server and it seems that from time to time it just freezes. In that case we have to restart the service and all is fine again, but we usually don't notice it unless someone is complaining. I'm sorry that the service isn't as reliable at the moment as we wish it was.



Have you checked out the pregenerated maps? Is there nothing for the area where you want to fly in?

No, nothing in the SE USA. Too bad, since there's 4 contests in the region
this year. I had generated a map for my own club's use, but it doesn't cover
the area we're flying in this weekend when visiting another operation.
