Map Manager

[johnpenna]

Has anybody had experience with Map manager..The maps are very basic of the UK and it will be a timely way to use the dictionary and edit the names of the towns to match the data..

Thanks

Map Manager is merely an editing tool of the predefined layers in the maps you have available.  The only real options are to create your maps with tools that can create the ght files (if I remember the extension correctly), if you need something specific that does not exist in these available areas.  An example for our organization is they have a state map but we need it broken down to DMA.  This would require one of these tools.  These tools are sold by vendors such as MapInfo.

Other options might include bugging Cognos to see how long they will get to the one you are looking for.  I think they have 13 new US states added, so it doesn't appear they are moving fast on these at all.

Hi,

As long as you don't need to modify the structure of the map, you could try just defining alias values for each point in the map in Map Manager.  Does this give you what you need?
