I suspect the problem is a coordinates transformation issue, where you may be starting in geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude), but they may be transformed to UTM along the way, then back to latitude/longitude. That would put you in the Atlantic off the African coast.

In MicroDEM, you have to right-click on the DEM image, then select “Display Parameter”; you’ll see “Blank” as one of the option.s

When I right click on the image, I do not get “Blank” in the list of options. How do you enable this?
