Hi Carol, re: > I'm fairly confident that higher resolution maps aren't available in McIDAS > over Okinawa, but I figured I should double check with you.

Do you know of a different map I should be > using? The Unidata McIDAS map files OUTVHRES and OUTVHPOL have higher resolutions than OUTLHRES and OUTLHPOL, but they may not be as high in resolution as what you want. Try the following to see the difference in, for instance, OUTLHRES and OUTVHRES for the Okinawa area: SF 1 ERASE F MAP DEF LAT=22 30 LON=-134 -122 FILE=OUTLHRES SF 2 ERASE F MAP DEF LAT=22 30 LON=-134 -122 FILE=OUTVHRES LB 1 2 TERM L ON re: > I did try using OUTLSUPW, but that almost looked worse. Yes, OUTLSUPW is much lower resolution. Comment: If you find map outline files outside of McIDAS, it is possible that they can be converted to the McIDAS map file format using MAKEMAP. Whether or not MAKEMAP will work will depend on the format of the map outline file that you find.
