Hello,

You need to tell pymol what to do with the map.

Load your pdb file
Load the map

create an object with residues you wish to display the map around.  You can use 
the create command to do this or you can click on all the residues that you 
want to use in the main window then go to the object called (sele) in the right 
hand sidebar, click A and then copy to object.  This will create an object 
called obj01 with the selected residues.  You can rename this if you wish.

Then you need to use the isomesh command to display the map.


isomesh mapname, mapfilename.ccp4, 2.5, obj01, carve=2.0

mapname is the name you want to appear in the right hand sidebar for the mesh 
(can be the same as the mapfilename if you wish)

mapfilename would be D83Vchimmap1 (from your screen shot).

2.5 is the sigma setting and carve=2.0 means the mesh is created within 2.0 Å 
of the selected atoms.  Adjust these values to suit.

You might want to go back to go back and check your FFT log and look at the 
grid settings.  It is a good idea to re run the FFT job but double the grid 
values from the original job.

It is all covered here:
