I found some great documentation on displaying regions inside a map at:

http://support.sas.com/rnd/datavisualization/mapsonline/html/maps/countries/us_va.html

The visual example displays the name of the region when you hover over it.  In SAS 9.2 when I hover over a region the tooltip displays numerical stuff.  I found a way to format the FIPS codes as text.  Is there a way to set what is displayed inside the tooltip so that I only see the formatted FIPS code as the region name?

I think you need to talk to Tech Support.  It seems to be fixed in 9.4.  It is likely that something was fixed between 9.2 and 9.4.  And see if there is a workaround.  Tech Support should know.

This handles the county tooltip, there should be a way to lookup county name without having to use a format.  Like how state is handled.

Unfortunately, there isn't an equivalent of STFIPS for counties.  And counties change names and FIPS code.  For example, Dade county Florida became Miami-Dade county.  The county name and map needed to be synchronized.

In the new MAPSGFK maps, there is a us_counties data set AND a us_counties_attr data set.  The us_counties_attr (attributes) data set has a variable that contains the county name.  That doesn't help you because you are still using 9.2 and that version cannot use MAPSGFK.

The code that I posted is rather long but works for what i need.

When I try to display the graph inside ods html format in Information Delivery portal 4.2.  My tooltip stops working.  Do I need to use tooltip rather than html=?  The tooltip options that I use with graphs do not seem to be available with proc gmap.  Is there a way to use template tooltips with proc gmap?

Simplied code to only look at the hover part.

data maplabel;

   length function $ 8;

   retain flag 0 xsys ysys '2' hsys '3' when 'a' style 'swissb';

   set maps.uscenter(where=(fipstate(state) ne 'DC') drop=long lat);

   function='label'; text=fipstate(state); size=2.5; position='5';

   if ocean='Y' then

      do;

         position='6'; output;

         function='move';

         flag=1;

      end;

   else if flag=1 then

      do;

         function='draw'; size=.5;

         flag=0;

      end;

   output;

run;

/*****************virginia display with counties**************/

studentCount = ranuni (50);

I found this code that works in enterprise guide but does not produce tool tips in Information Delivery Portal 4.2.  It works in enterprise guide.  My end users use Information Delivery Portal.
