I'm just going out to gather some company for Thanksgiving, but package
all the pieces of the shapefile up in a zip file and send it to me. I'll
have a look when I get the chance. (Good excape from the family!)

But, instead of doing this:

> cgdrawshapes, shapefile, mapcoord=map, /projected_xy

I would try this:

map -> SetProperty, Position=[0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9]
map -> Draw
cgmap_continents, /continents, /coasts, /usa, /rivers, $
/countries, /hires, map_str=map
cgmap_grid, /box_axes, map_structure=map
cgDrawshapes, shapefile

Cheers,

David
