The spurious map lines problem is typically seen on machines that have
certain video cards (e.g., ones from ATI). For years, the fix for this
was the installation of a plugin. The problem is corrected in a different
manner in recent versions of the IDV. Please do the following:
1) remove the plugin that you installed and is causing problems and
restart the IDV
2) click on Edit -> Preferences from the IDV Dashboard
3) in the System tab, make sure that the Enable geometry by reference
checkbox is _not_ checked and then click on OK to save the
preference
4) exit and restart the IDV
Please let us know if this does not fix your problem.
Cheers,
Tom
