Matlab map representation problems

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on plotting meteorological stations on a map of Angola using MATLAB. The user successfully draws the country's shape with the commands worldmap angola, load coastlines, and plotm(coastlat,coastlon). However, they encounter issues when attempting to plot the stations using geoshow, specifically with the command geoshow(5, 5). The user seeks guidance on how to correctly plot multiple stations represented by latitude and longitude data on the existing map.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with MATLAB programming environment
  • Understanding of geographic plotting functions in MATLAB
  • Knowledge of latitude and longitude data representation
  • Basic experience with MATLAB's mapping toolbox
NEXT STEPS
  • Review the MATLAB documentation on geoshow for proper usage
  • Explore examples of plotting multiple geographic points using geoshow
  • Learn about data structures in MATLAB for handling latitude and longitude arrays
  • Investigate troubleshooting techniques for common MATLAB plotting issues
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in meteorology, MATLAB users working with geographic data, and anyone interested in visualizing spatial data on maps.

Hi everybody.
I am currently doing a metheorological study of Angola's climate. I can draw the country's shape without much trouble.
>> worldmap angola
>> load coastlines
>> plotm(coastlat,coastlon)

But once I have the shape drawn things start to go downhill.

I have a vector with the meteorological station's latitude and longitude. My goal is to plot them at the same map which I have created earlier. For that, I use geoshow. I.E. geoshow(5, 5) of the location of a token station.
Matlab does nothing when I introduce these commands.

So if anybody could tell me how can I plot all the stations on my map which are described as two columns, one with latirude and other with longitude it would be extremely helpful.

Thanks for reading.
