Well adding more to my own posts, interestingly the map is not in the
right spot. Any insight here?

Looking at the plot generated (sorry for the terrible colors) it is
pretty clear that the earth is not centered at 0,0 is there some trick
I don't know here?

loadct, 11
contour, dist(10), findgen(10)-5, findgen(10)-5, /fill, nlevels=30, /
iso
pos = convert_coord([-1,1], [-1,1], /data, /to_normal)
loadct, 12
MAP_SET,90,0,0,/ORTHOGRAPHIC,/ISOTROPIC, /CONTINENTS,/HORIZON, $
E_continents={FILL:1, color:23}, $
position=[pos[0,0], pos[0,1], pos[1,0], pos[1,1]], $
/noerase, /noborder, $
E_HORIZON={FILL:1, COLOR:100}
