Yeah... Suez and Panama are closed. It makes me sad too. They really did a very cursory job when the put together the geographic database. It's like they based it on low resolution satellite data. I wonder what it would take to do something more high resolution. As I poke around strategic spots all over the world, I notice all sorts of anomalies. The port of Aden is my favorite example. It's just... odd shaped. Port Said and the Suez canal is another good one, though.
They outsourced the geography.

The next level of resolution would have been 12 gigs on disk.

Cheers,
David
