The problem is caused by fuzzy geopolitical thinking
in the US. The current administration is not helping.

Have you tried using HiRes mapping?

Cheers,

Hi,

the HiRes keyword has no effect. Neither does it help to change map
projection or idl version. The northern border of Turkey as well as
other country borders in that area are missing. Seems I cant solve
this (but cant be the only one complaing about this?)

Regards
Sverre
