In a different thread, I mentioned MAP_SET, and David Fanning wrote:

I hadn't know about the MAP_PROJ_* routines, as I haven't used IDL
since 5.6 when they were introduced.

I don't need the extra projections, nor the fine-grained detail of
the major/minor planet axes, etc.

Can anyone recommend one over the other? Is there a speed
difference?

Also, this is an educational product, and it would be great for the
kids to be able to print & make globes out of their maps. Here are
some possibilities:

Has anyone added map projections to the IDL routines and can offer
advice? I am comfortable modifying the routines, and in the past
have added magnetically-aligned continents as an option to
MAP_CONTINENTS.

Thanks,

-k.
