I have noticed some 3d animations
that when the world turns, the entire
Vancouver Island is missing.

That would be like leaving out Burma
or some other large island.

Mark,

NASA did not forget it.
I use the Blue Marble images for Earth animations, but not for commercial purposes.
Perhaps whomever is suppling the commercial images left it out.

Sorry, I should have said meshes, A large vendor shows a preview of the
world and it is sans Vancouver Island.

I have seen TV news globes missing this island as well.

I know NASA wouldn’t miss Vancouver Island, but certain modellers
at this large company did. (I’d rather not mention them by name)

This is why this meesage is off-topic!!!
