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
