I'm trying what I thought was a simple test and getting "bad" results. I am taking some lat long coords, and feeding it into a map. The conversion is not giving "real" values that can be plotted on a map (and actually produces an error when I use annotate). I'm including the simple code and the output: >>>>>>>>>CODE<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< import pylab as p import numpy from matplotlib.toolkits.basemap import Basemap as Basemap from matplotlib.colors import rgb2hex from matplotlib.patches import Polygon
