Using usamap, geoshow and plot3m inside an axes AppDesigner

I want to migrate my 3D plotting utility, a stand alone m code program, to a GUI using AppDesigner. Some functions do not work correctly.

• I have a function, plotPts.m, that opens a figure and plots an outline of a Lat/Long boundary using, usamap(latlimts,longlimits).
• I can then overlays a image with height information, geoshow(GeoHeight,GeoRef,'DisplayType','surface','CData',GeoImage).
• I can add points using plot3m(lat1,long1,h1,'ok')

This works fine opening up a new figure and plotting the data.

I want to do this same thing in AppDesigner using an "axes" on the GUI (I don't want a separate figure to open).

------------------------

if I use, H = geoaxes(ax.UIAxes), I get the error "geoaxes cannot be a child of UIAxes."

If I try to directly plot something using plot3m(lat1,long1,H,'or'), I get the error

"Expected gl to be one of these types:"

"globe.graphics.GeographicGlobe"

"Instead its type was matlab.ui.control.UIAxes."

Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell usamap() what figure, location to plot the lat/long limits outline.
