Is there a tutorial for re exporting into my modified route, so that the existing tiles are overwritten with the new tiles?

So Im running into the no doubt familiar issue of needing to tweak elevation data in surveyor from the DEM provided. This is running into some interesting issues with the UTM tiles though. Specifically, lowering terrain below the tiles causes a significant difference between the shape of the tile ...

OSM is a little sparse for detail Im afraid, and I dont have much in the way of other options. Its basically urband environment for the whole route anyway, through south Perth.

In defense of the choice to use the 'easier' google earth, its worth noting that many areas of the world never had detailed topo maps produced, and of those that did, many of those maps are not available freely online.

Im using GE because Im used to it, but not before I exhausted my search for ...

I think thats the junctions sorted. Still have to load it up in Surveyor and double check. Given what Ive been told regarding expanding a route later, I think Ill have a go at building just the fremantle NQRT to Kewdale-Forrestfield section for now.

I have learnt a new valuable TransDEM lesson tonight.
