Map tips provide the user with the ability to quickly retrieve information about entities underneath the mouse cursor.

They use data definitions to supply the data, meaning that the data available to the user can come from any provider, not just the attributes attached to the underlying spatial feature.

The map tip tool can query any entity and is not dependent upon the active entity. The user chooses from the map tip menu what data they're interested in and when they move the mouse around the map that's what the data they 'll will be presented withshown.
