Bill,
The file templates are described at:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/tutorial/filetemplates.html

See the file: $GEMTBL/config/datatype.tbl

The environmental variables for GEMDATA, MODEL, SAT and RAD which you
will need set are deined in $NAWIPS/Gemenviron.

Asside from being used in NMAP and NMAP2, these templated can be used
in GEMPAK programs. For example, using GDFILE=eta in a grid
program will use the template defined in the datatype.tbl file mentioned
above to determine the latest available ETA 211 run to use.

>Hello,

>We are in the process of upgrading to the latest gempak, and I've been
>trying to test nmap for the first time.  The only type of data that
>is working occurs when I select "Image".  When I select OBS, it apparently
>tries to find OBS/METAR/standard.  Likewise, for MODEL, it tries to
>find MODEL/eta/*/1.standard.

>I don't believe we have any variables defined as OBS or MODEL.  It seems
>nmap doesn't know where to look to find our gempak data.  I can't find
>a file comparable to Garp_defaults to make the changes.  Is there such a
>file?  If not, how do I get nmap to find the correct data?  (I spent the
>last hour trying to find help on this at the Unidata web site, or among
>the various subdirectories on our own machines where gempak is installed,
>but have failed).
