It has been a while since last time that I used GM and now it says it cannot connect to the imaginary source I was using in the past (ASTER GDEM Worldwide elevation data 1.5ARC). Of course internet connection is working. Error below:

    Hello,

    The most likely reason for this error is that the online data source has changed the address used to download data.  Global Mapper 18 supports ASTER GDEM v2 (1 arc-second Resolution).

    The online data sources are managed by 3rd parties, and are not under our control.  When we find out that the owner of a service has changed the location or commands required to access the data, we update whatever version of Global Mapper is current at that time.

    Cheers,
    Bob
