Hi Derek, It would help if you could pass along what "invalid results" you're seeing, such as if there are errors not allowing the map to draw, or if the map is drawn but the result is not what you're looking for. If you're seeing an error about invalid bounds, you can specify a world-view with GAREA as GAREA = -80;-170;80;170 Which you can adjust further out to *near* the full globe in Mercator projection: GAREA = -89.9;-179.9;89.9;179.9 Just make sure you don't overlap the coordinated by defining boundaries at 90/-90 and 180/-180 Best, Michael James Unidata > Full Name: Derek Heit > Email Address: address@hidden > Organization: Weatherology Mobile, LLC > Package Version: > Operating System: > Hardware: > Description of problem: > > Im attempting to map data to the Mercator projection used by google > maps and have been stuck on it for a while.
