Michael, Here is what I did: cd ~/.unidata/idv/DefaultIdv wget https://www.rsmas.miami.edu/users/bmapes/pagestuff/idv.properties wget https://www.rsmas.miami.edu/users/bmapes/pagestuff/mapes.rbi After I ran these commands and started the IDV, I could see the Mapes IDV collection without any difficulties in the IDV. Is that not what you are seeing? Remember, you have to restart the IDV to see the Mapes IDV collection.
