One nice feature of the browser is that it uses the Google Static Map API interface to request, download, and display a Google map of the area underneath the lidar track. You can get various types of Google maps, but the Terrain and Satellite maps give us the best idea of what the lidar track is going over.

Does anyone know if this is a known problem in this version of IDL? Or, doesn't anyone know if there is anything I can do on the LINUX side of things to fix the problem?

As a workaround you could try spawning a call to wget or curl I would think. Have you tried that?
