Annotating a map can help you quickly identify geographic elements on the map. In this example, two layers, Substation and TransferStation, will be annotated.

The name of each site is stored in SubstationDataset Properties, so you can select the corresponding Property Field when labeling it.
- Select Create Thematic Map.. from the Context Menu on the Layer Manager-> Substation @ Subway layer.
- Select Label Uniform Map-> Default on the left side of the pop-up Create Thematic Map dialog box, and click the OK button to jump to Thematic Map on the right panel of the interface.
- Thematic map function area is divided into three items: Attribute, Style and Advanced. Only Parameter Settings in the attribute and style items are introduced here.

The name of each transfer site is stored in the TransferStation Dataset Properties, so you can select the corresponding Property Field when labeling it.
