Hello Conner
1) summarize x_coord and y_coord and see if the span of x (y) is >20
times the span of y (x).
2) build a scatter of your points and see how it works
3) I don't think you can specify xsize and ysize since this will
distort the map (squeeze it or stretch it), so this would be probably
not the best way to go.
4) check the missings, I don't know if spmap supports missing values
of coordinates (one or both missings).
5) if your coordinates also come from a shapefile - make sure the
projections are the same. Oftentimes you bump on the military data,
where coordinates range in the order of hundreds of thousands (meters,
not degrees).
Hope anything of the above helps.
