Without SNMP NetView will never see these routers as routers.  Instead he will
treat every interface as a separate node because he will not know to tie them
together in one box and thus will not know it is a router.  My guess is that you
are already getting generic nodes for these "devices" on the various submaps and
that is why you do not see a "router" on the IP Internet map.    This is covered
in detail in the NetView Diagnosis manual.

I am trying to populate on my Netview map 3 routers that I can successfully
PING but does not have snmp access to.  Is this possible ?  Or do I need to
have al least SNMP read access to the routers for Netview to put on my map ?

Thanks

Muni.
