[ferret_users] Go land command



Hello I am a fairly new user of FERRET and trying to plot data that are in the netcdf format. My issue is when I want to map the land contour with GO LAND, the land appears all squeezed in the bottom of my plot:
SHADE/i=1:224/j=1:224/l=1   SST;GO land
or SHADE/x=1:224/y=1:224/l=1   SST;GO land
I can't figure out if there is something wrong with my commands or the way my netcdf file is written, or if I have to use a particular map projection (I have looked at some demo scripts without finding any answer to my problem).
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
