Terrain Awareness

The Terrain Awareness icon has disappeared from my main setting panel at top of page in Map Pilot Pro 5.5.1 Build 060120231.  I have not paid attention to it for years.  Map Pilot has just been loading and using terrain from device storage flawlessly.  Now Map Pilot tells me that "A data source needs to be selected prior to profiling."  ?!?!?!?  How do I select the terrain data source with no icon to access terrain awareness?

I checked - my account renewed the other day for a year, and the iPad knows it.

Went thru settings 5 times.  Cannot find a relevant switch.

The Terrain Awareness panel shows at the bottom now and the mountain icon is what you press to calculate the profile. 

With 5.5.0 we have added dynamically available terrain data sources. Previously it was just SRTM and your own custom data. Now we have added global coverage for Copernicus and ASTER datasets as well as other higher resolution options for certain regions.
