Re: [guide-user] Ground fault

Denis Nov 16, 2004

Bill,
I may have to send you program files.

My elevation is 1 meter and projection is stereographic. The ground is
actually not round or straight, I get a some kind of angle at the top of
the screen. I will ask a friend to see if he can replicate. Ground
features are turn off.
