Sorry - I went back to look at that.  The ipad app for pymol does not 
have an option to load a map.  You can only load structures.  I like 
that you can load your own structures (from a dropbox folder), that's 
nice.  It's very powerful, and I can do a lot with it, but I would like 
to show electron density and can't find a way.

I got good suggestions yesterday.  Imolview does work well for loading 
pdb files.  I don't have a way to get the browser that goes with it to 
run on my linux box. I tried it, but was unsuccessful, so I don't know 
if it displays density or not.  The CueMol does not show density.  So, 
both of these are nice for pdb files (I like Imolview better), but 
neither will easily show electron density.

I just want an app that will display a pdb file and a map file.  I can 
convert maps to whatever format is necessary (as long as it's 
crystallographic).  That I can't seem to find.

No worries.  Thanks for all the suggestions

Dave
