This is a big error. If it wasn’t for that, I would have purchased the full version. 1 yr after review: Thank you for fixing it :) I love the full version! The elevation data is extremely useful to learn about Mars landscape. It would be great if you could implement also geomorphology data (i.e. Kenneth L. Tanaka’s studies) to see the type of materials and their age. ### 5/5 — Cliff *2018-12-15, version 1.87* Very interesting ### 5/5 — New experience *2018-07-15* There’s a lot of great features that’s all over the globe but it there’s a lot more I still need to learn. ### 5/5 — Self explanatory *2018-07-03* Easy to navigate and easy to self instruct.
