Here is a hint: you may want to upgrade. :-) I suppose it is more evidence of getting old, but I can't even *remember* IDL 3.0! You might want to upgrade (or buy my book) just for the better manuals. But I think that even from the get-go you could put contours on map projections. Try this after you have set up your map projection: Contour, data, x, y, /Overplot Where your x and y vectors are expressed in units of latitude and longitude. (These vectors are REQUIRED when outputting on top of a map projection.)
