You could add a scatter plot with labels on top of the map using
-graph addplot scatter...-. For example:
use "Italy-RegionsData.dta", clear
spmap relig1 using "Italy-RegionsCoordinates.dta", id(id)
label(x(xcoord) y(ycoord) label(zone) color(blue ) select(keep if zone
<2) pos(12))
graph addplot scatter ycoord xcoord, ms(none) mlab(region) mlabpos(6)
mlabsize(small) legend(order(1 2 3 4))

But what if I want to superimpose the county names in the plot below?
spmap using "uscounty.dta" if state=="42", id(_ID) cln(2) ocolor(gs12 gs12)
fcolor(white white) legend(off) label(data ("coord.dta") select(keep
if batch <3) color(blue) y(lati) x(longi)
label(batch) ) title("Big Foot Sightings in Pennsylvania")
Thanks!
