 **How to download high resolution satellite texture with Terra Incognita.**
@@ Line 155: / Line 157: @@
 If you are downloading in split to four smaller selections, then simply select rectangle of about 43km x 43km in size, place it on north west corner and copy coordinates to clipboard and save them. Then move rectangle to north east corner, copy coordinates to clipboard and save them... repeat this to south west/east corners as well. Now you have four sets of coordinates to 43km x 43km regions which are very quick to download.
-Restart terra incognita to unload the KMZ black waypoints rectangle. Start your download normally.

+====== Black Tiles ======
+**2021-10-06**
+Sometimes when you download satellite imagery using terra incognita there are very few black tiles in the oziexplorer images. I don't know why this happens... but you can fix it by simply re-saving the same oziexplorer image (set).
+Oh that "sometimes" means that ... its ALMOST every terrain save you do (meaning one out of four corners). The amount of black tiles I got while doing PMC Taiwan terrains in oct 2021 was very high, so high that I had to do [[real-world-data-tutorial|real world data]] tool pipeline task to check saved corner JPGs with [[:editing_tools#image_editing|irFanview]] before even making global mapper map catalog.
+This is why its important that after you finish DOWNLOADING satellite imagery you do not delete terra incognita CACHE directory / files until you have confirmed that all oziexplorer images are without black tiles.
+Use irFanview or similar quick image viewer to check all the JPG images, if you find any black tiles then simply terra incognita re-save oziexplorer and check again until no more black tiles are present.
