Re: overlay vectors on map

Without seeing the output plot or having access to the data, it's a little hard to figure out what is going on, but one question is: do you see the correct coordinate ranges as tickmark labels when you draw the vector plot by itself? Are your coordinate variables a single dimension or 2 dimensions? My guess is that you have not set up the coordinate values correctly. If your coordinates are 1D
then they should be set using the coordinate syntax, not attribute syntax:

Not this:
 x@latitude = f->latitude

But this:

x!1 = "latitude" ; this is assuming the un-reordered dimension order of time x lat x lon.
x&latitude = f->latitude

Maybe that will help.
