    Cool shading options. Viewranger has a night vision mode but no shading options. The maps look better in my opinion though. Here's an example of my drawn in DOC boundaries:

    yeah that's right contents, but don't unzip the kmz contents just try placing the kmz file in as downloaded.

    Did you enable it from the maps settings? They dont show everything, only what you enable.
