Hello everyone,

I am currently working on making some maps in which I need to create a zoom on a section to be able clearly see the data in the corresponding section. It seems that this is only possible to do so using grmap, and not the spmap which I had been previously using. The issue that I am encountering is that in order to use grmap I must first use spset on my data, and I come upon the error stating:

Code:
 spset ID
invalid panel setting
    Type xtset to view panel data settings.
when I try to do so. When I check xtset as stated I get that I have a balanced panel, so I am unclear as to what is causing the problem, especially seeing as I have had no problem whatsoever with the same data using spmap.

For further information I have attached the examples of the two maps which I have created with spmap.

Here is an excerpt of the data I am using (I have removed the sensitive data which I am not allowed to share)

Code:

1100 "Oyonnax"             "01" 33676 "01100" "46.2054981558" " 5.65781475272"

end
Here is the code I used:

Code:
spset ID
xtset ID
spset, modify coordsys(latlong, kilometers)
resulting in the following:

Code:
 
spset ID
invalid panel setting
    Type xtset to view panel data settings.
r(459);
then:

Code:
 xtset ID

Panel variable: ID (balanced)
I have also tried a variety of different ways to spset for example using the following:

Code:
spset, modify coordsys(latlong, kilometers)
data not spset
r(459);
I would really appreciate any insight into what may be the issue, I have been trying to get this to work on stata for a week now, and have scoured the documentation for help, but have not come very far (clearly)

Thank you so much!


(below are the two maps, the first of France and the second of the Parisian region which we would like to zoom into to be able to see the details)
