I'll probably write an article about this, but I think
the bottom line is there is no good way to do this
exactly. The MAP_PROJ_INIT method is even worse than
the MAP_SET method, and for exactly the reason I mentioned
the other day: MAP_PROJ_INIT doesn't give you the ability
to specify the eight-element LIMIT you need to create the
proper map projection space.

I hate to be getting on a new soapbox, but we need
better map projection sup****t in IDL. :-(

Cheers,

David
