Re: [ferret_users] How to add symbol on a map when lat and lon are known

[William Kessler <william.s.kessler@xxxxxxxx>]

I think the initial example would work with PLOT/VS (you omitted VS).
 
As written
 
> plot/overlay/symbol=20/color=blue lon[d=5],lat[d=5]
 
is trying to plot the two variables separately, which does not make sense (i.e. does not have a usable axis) on top of a map.
