David, as you say, altitude maps use huge amounts of ram. You have 9meg? How much of that is in use when you start rendering? (do an 'avail' just before you hit the render button) Also, what bitmap size is your altitude map image? I have 10 meg of ram, and had memory problems with 768×480 altitude map once. Even if that is the problem, however, it still SHOULD NOT CRASH. I know programmers do their best, but I don't see *any* excuse for programs to crash because of lack of ram. A graceful exit should be provided. –jp–seattle–
