Hi Angel, If you can find one, I would suggest loading a shapefile that contains these topo data into the IDV. The IDV will render shapefiles: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/workshop/datadisplays/gis/Shapefile.html The other data you speak of can be displayed over this topo data. We also cover this topic in the workshop a bit with DEM files which could work for you as well: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/workshop/datadisplays/gis/DEM.html Keep us up-to-date on your progress.
