Your are on the right track, you can use MAP_SET, Nadir_lat, and
Nadir_long, /Satellite, the four corners (LIMIT) and along with [ P,
Omega, Gamma ], which are [~6.5, 0.0, 0.0 ]. These numbers are
variable depending on the satellite ( GOES-E, GOES-W ). They get you
in the ball park, but get worse the farther you get from nadir along
the equator.
My first choice (although slow) are to use MAP_PATCH, WARP_TRI, or
combination Poly2D and POLYWARP. MAP_IMAGE doesn't work. Use either of
these routines to remap the satellite image, latitude, longitude
navigation arrays from NASA GSFC into the desire map projection that
is set by MAP_SET, then you can use the MAP_GRID and MAP_CONTINENTS to
get the desire geo-political boundaries provided by ITTVIS on top.
I had web pages providing examples of each of these remapping methods,
but they have been removed by my previous employer.

P.S. NASA GSFC would not be my first chioce for GOES data. I like to
get my GOES data from www.class.noaa.gov.
