ben,
there is no plot attached to your message.
how you zoom in on a map is dependent upon which projection you choose.
For a cylendrical equadistant projection, you want to use
mpMinLatF = #
etc
for mercator and lambert conformal projections, you should use the corners
method.
what projection are you plotting?
when you say it was not correct, can you be more specific?
