Apex 4.0 map - state names

Question

hey guys,
i'm just working with apex 4 and it's map feature.
very nice so far, but one thing:
how can you display the names of the states? I come from germany and Thüringen and Baden-Württemberg won't be displayed. I know it's because of the umlaut in german but there's gotta be a way i guess....
pls help =)

Hi jR-ora,
That's great you've found the information for the map of Germany in the Create Wizards. The Map Region Information is also available on the Map Series page, for an existing map. So if you go to edit your map query, navigate to the Map Series page and if scroll down to the end of that page you'll find another "Map Region Information" Show/Hide region that will display the information associated with your chosen map source .amap file. We've incorporated the AnyChart Map Reference Information within our UI, to save you from having to refer to the AnyChart online documentation all the time. You can of course also refer to the AnyChart documentation here: http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/map_reference/maps-ref.html?fromtree. Please note that the AnyChart information for your chosen map does not contain umlauts, so you'll need to take that into consideration when you're generating your map. I've got a couple of sample maps here - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:9 - which might prove useful to you.
