>Regarding #1...How would I set the area of interest say I want >map displayed from areas of South American and parts of Western Africa. >Would I need to do New Projection? Is there any examples of this? You can switch to the "World Mercator" view in the top left (http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/maps-views-projections/#default-map-scales), then zoom into the area you want. You can also turn on the labels at this point if you'd like. At that point you can go to File --> New Projection, and then name it what you'd like and click the "Import Extent From Display". Then I would suggest saving it as a procedure and then loading it from there in the future. There is some documentation here: http://unidata.github.io/awips2/cave/bundles-and-procedures/#procedures.
