Hi Muhammad,

The IDV is in general designed for the geo located dataset. So you will not be 
able to load an image file directly. However,
if the image is in lat/lon projection you can use ximg format as following:

<image url="SatelliteImage.gif"
       name="Satellite Image"
       ullat="39.98890" ullon="-105.22782"
       lrlat="39.98755" lrlon="-105.22548"/>

those lat/lon are associated with your gif image. You can save it as file.ximg 
and load it into the IDV.
