Hi,
Is there a way to have a map tip window appear when the mouse is over a point feature. The window would show the feature name and set of attributes associated with that point feature. Thanks.

Michael,
Yes there is already a feature for that! You can check the 'View->Enable Info Tips' menu option to enable this. There is also a View->Configure Info Tips option to set up what is displayed in the popup window.
Thanks,

Thanks!

Mike,
It seems that this feature is somewhat limited. I do not see the option to show point feature attributes, or any feature attribute for that matter. Is there something I'm not seeing?
Thanks,

Michael,
If you set the attributes you want as the feature label then the feature label display would work. However I'll add a todo item for adding a custom display with any attributes you want embedded.

Michael,
We have a new build which includes support for a custom description text string, including attribute values, for the info tips display. I have placed a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15.zip with the latest changes for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v15.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v15 version there is a new build at http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/downloads/global-mapper/global_mapper15_64bit.zip .
Thanks,
Mike
