Hello All,
Happy 2008
For some time now I have trying to use the Import Planetary Map function, and for some reason it just will not work ofter as not I get an out of memory message, or the map is displayed does not match area required.
Please see Image
I mages used is PIA03395. Has any one had any luck using this image?
Can recomend simular maps to us or have a good working copy of the abouve map.
Please Help

Import Planetary Map function does not work
This map won't work in Digital atmosphere.
First: the map dimension isn't 2:1 at 21600 x 9049 you would need to add 875.5 to both the top and bottom (this mainly happened because th SRTM mission didn't cover the entire globe. If I remember correctly anything above 60 degrees isn't covered due to the limitations of the Shuttle's orbit.)
Second: It is a mercator projection. You'll probably want to find one that is a cartesian (without projection) map.
AS far as the out of memory issue.... you are dealing with a huge map, so that's probably what is causing that problem.
Anyway, google, planet earth texture, and you should find a map image that will work in digital atmosphere.
