Marcelo, The NMAP2 locator display which is used by the SEEK function, as well as the mouse over display by selecting the widget at the lower right corner of the NMAP2 display is controled by the $GEMTBL/nmap2/locator.tbl table. There are several tables listed in that file, including "cities" which is a US cities table. You probably want to add a brazil_cities name and alias to that table. You then need to define the station table name alias in the $GEMTBL/config/clo.tbl file to relate the alias to a station table name and place the station table in $GEMTBL/stns that your clo.tbl alias references. You can also add the name of a station table file you create to the $GEMTBL/nmap/mapovl.tbl file to appear as one of the map overlays which can be used to plot your cities locations on your displayed data. The files mentioned above have comments as to their formats which you should be able to follow using some of the esisting station table examples, such as SFSTNS.
