In addition, there are now three predefined librefs for libraries that contain map data<br />
sets:<br />
MAPS<br />
points <strong>to</strong> updated versions of the traditional map data sets that are provided by <strong>SAS</strong>,<br />
just as in the past. This libref existed prior <strong>to</strong> the second maintenance release for<br />
<strong>SAS</strong> <strong>9.3</strong>.<br />
MAPS<strong>SAS</strong><br />
points <strong>to</strong> the same updated map data sets as the MAPS libref. This libref is new in<br />
the second maintenance release for <strong>SAS</strong> <strong>9.3</strong>.<br />
MAPSGFK<br />
points <strong>to</strong> map data sets based on the digital maps from GfK GeoMarketing, the<br />
single source for this map data. These data sets are covered by the GfK<br />
GeoMarketing copyright. See http://support.sas.com/mapsonline/gfklicense. This<br />
libref is also new in the second maintenance release for <strong>SAS</strong> <strong>9.3</strong>.<br />
These new single-source data sets ensure that the map data is accurate and<br />
uniform for the entire world. Additional map data obtained from GfK GeoMarketing<br />
GmbH matches up seamlessly with <strong>SAS</strong>/GRAPH map data. GfK GeoMarketing<br />
GmbH is solely responsible for all updates and changes <strong>to</strong> their map data. This<br />
includes political boundary updates which were up <strong>to</strong> this time hard <strong>to</strong> obtain. <strong>SAS</strong><br />
offers the ability <strong>to</strong> download the updates <strong>to</strong> map data via <strong>SAS</strong> Maps Online (http://<br />
support.sas.com/rnd/datavisualization/mapsonline/html/downloads.html).<br />
Note: Using the GfK map data sets with an existing application that currently uses the<br />
traditional map data sets requires modification <strong>to</strong> the application. Without these<br />
modifications, using the GfK map data could cause unexpected results. For more<br />
information <strong>to</strong> aid in modifying existing applications, see “Differences between GfK and<br />
Traditional Map Data Sets ” in Chapter 52 of <strong>SAS</strong>/GRAPH: Reference.<br />
You can redefine the MAPS libref <strong>to</strong> point <strong>to</strong> GfK map data sets by using the MAPS=<br />
system option. For more information, see “MAPS= System Option” in <strong>SAS</strong> System<br />
Options: Reference.<br />
Note: The digital vec<strong>to</strong>r map data sets for MAPSGFK require an increased allotment of<br />
disk space. For more information, see System Requirements for <strong>SAS</strong> <strong>9.3</strong> Foundation for
