How to plot wind vectors with quivers on a latitude/logitude plot

Hi,
I am plotting some wind data and I would like to have the that shows the direction and speed of the wind at the location were they were taken (given by latitude and longitude).
Minimal working example:
lat=[10,11,13];
lon=[-59,-58,-55];
h1=[100,100,100];
h2=[200,200,200];
u_h1=[-2,-3,-5];
u_h2=[-3,-5,-7];
v_h1=[2,1,-1];
v_h2=[2,3,-2];
w_h1=[0,0,0];
w_h2=[0,0,0];
figure
quiver3(lon,lat,h1,u_h1,v_h1,w_h1)
hold on
quiver3(lon,lat,h2,u_h1,v_h1,w_h2)
Does quiver already produce reliable length and arrow direction even if the underling grid in lat and lon. It seems so from the example but i am perplexed how does it work.
If it does not work with lat and lon as x and y how can I substitute them ratining the information about the location?
Thanks in advance

There are various types of map functions and it's not clear which one you're using. Here's a demo showing a quiver plot on a map.
About the arrow lengths, see the scale input:

Yes. By default the length of the vectors are scaled to reduce overlap. If you want the vector length to equal the magnitude of the wind velocity, set the scale to 0 as suggested in my answer.
