Hi Walt, > Continuing with the ideas from the other ticket (see below), I have > worked on a station list for NDBC moored buoys and CMAN stations. In the > attached file I have put in the ID,LAT,LON,Height and no time. I am > trying to get IDV to display these points all of the time with a marker. You were using our point observation data format. We have a variety of text formats for simple locations: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/data/LocationXml.html I have modified your file (attached). You need to load this into the IDV as a "Locations" Data source type. -Jeff Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: PTQ-142997 Department: Support IDV Priority: Normal Status: Closed
