Hard recommend the #geoplot package. I've been using it in recent work and whilst it is a little bit more effort to begin with, the benefits are huge in terms of the increased flexibility and range of what it allows you to do with maps in #Stata
Here is the link to the dofile for creating #Stata #maps, generating grids and data interpolation using the new #geoplot package:
