Built-in Map Files
When you use the Map Shape zone, JMP searches through its built-in map files for matching names.
Built-in map files normally include the following:
• World countries and regions
• States and counties in the United States
• First-level divisions for Canada, China, the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Italy, Japan, and Germany
JMP installs built-in map files in the following directory:
• Windows: C:\Program Files\SAS\JMP\\Maps
• Macintosh: /Library/Application Support/JMP//Maps
Each map consists of two JMP data tables with a common prefix. Each data table has the same base name
with one of these two suffixes:
• -Name file that contains the unique names for the different regions
• -XY file that contains the latitude and longitude coordinates of the boundaries
