Try ASTER and also try to move your points a little bit. Glaciers are hard because there are holes in the data. I was just able to generate a terrain plot successfully in that area.

Terrain Data Unavailable / Mapping Glaciers
I've used Copernicus but am still getting an error message "It appears that this image was taken outside of our NASA's terrain data coverage".
I am trying to make a flat map of a glacier (https://maps.app.goo.gl/npW5BAfFjL4A4xL67)
Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks so much Zane. I will try ASTER today.
I've attached a jpg with the exact areas I want to map. How can I attempt to generate a terrain plot to check if these areas can be mapped with ASTER or Copernicus?

I have tried a bunch of plots in those areas and they all work fine. Make sure you have access to the Internet when you are doing this so the elevation data can be downloaded.

Hey Hey Zane,
Thanks again for the reply. Good to know about the plots working.
It makes sense about the internet connection as when I was drawing the plots, I was literally standing on the glacier without any cell service. In that case, how can I pre-load the plot?
Can I draw the mission and use the simulator option (without props) on Pilot Pro, then save the mission so I can run it again with the pre-loaded terrain data?
Maybe there is some officially recommended method to pre-load terrain data?
