Yeah, this is probably correct. Neal posted a video of DD's going straight through the land. Problem with the 'Travel Mode' feature maybe? When I set-up a lone Iceberg to travel on a Southerly course at 0.5 knots, it went straight through the appropriately named Iceland

As it stands, I have 30+ 'Bergs in the Artic Circle area, that are stationary, but Spawn randomly within a 20 KM radius. There seems little point going to the trouble of setting-up looping Waypoints for each one because, if you encounter one it'd moving too slowly to notice anyway. Instead of Waypoints I am toying with the idea of having the 'Bergs only appear during the Winter months. I can put them in different postions each year, so that it doesn't be come too predictable
