I'm sure there are other Maple users who have done these things, but I'm in the early stages of learning Maple 15 after moving (up) from Mathcad.

1. How do I plot a simple wireframe map of the world?

2. If I have a dataset of gridded data where the data is in the form [latitude, longitude, number] how do I map that data to a grid on the globe and give it a height according to the magnitude of the [number]?

3. Is there a way to smooth the heights of each grid block so that the centre represents the [number], but there is a spline which interpolates between that height and the heights of the surrounding grid?

Thanks in advance
