Thanks for the response. I checked out your link and it's very useful.
It still leaves me with one question: it seems like you need to set up
or initialize a projection before using map commands. what if your
data is in geographic coordinates, which are not listed as a supported
map structure? i suspect that there is something quite simple that i'm
missing here. any thoughts?
