I am unable to figure out the problem listed in obs 2 and 3. The input data set simply contains valid US zip codes, does the below message mean that any zip=. should be deleted before PROC GMAP?

The data set map is calculating a correct X, Y coordinate for the state=1 and it is possible I do not have values for that coordinate which is not an error if there is no matching zip hit

proc gmap data=map map=map; 
 id state; 
 choro state / anno=dot nolegend; 
run; 

quit;

Log:

The X & Y coordinates in the annotate dataset are outside the coordinates of the map dataset.

I think that's a note from the annotate facility. Have you tried using the ALL option on the gmap statement?
