Impactful IndividualMAP showing wrong locations
Microsoft EmployeeHi webportal,
In my test, the location was highlighted in correct position on the map.
In your scenario, please check:
- What data category have you selected for that column? If setting category to "uncategorized", whether map shows locations correctly.
- If conbining country and city name together to navigate to corresponding location, whether issue persists?
- Search for those locations on the Bing Maps itself (bing.com/maps) to see whether they can be shown correctly.
- Update your desktop to the latest version for a test.
Besides, please review this article which provide several tips to increase the likelihood of correct geo-coding.
Best regards,

Impactful IndividualHello Yuliana,
Thanks, but as you can see here, the map is wrong, even if I add the name of the country, as mentioned in my question.
The report was built in Power BI Service so it doesn't have a data category. The data was uploaded from an Excel table.
As I mentioned, this map worked perfectly until last week, so this must be related with an upgrade of the service.

Hi webportal,
So, this problem that map visual displayed wrong loactions occurred on service, right? It is a known issue confirmed by product team, we have reported internally, and the team is working on this.

I don't think it's limited to the service. I have the same problem on Power BI Desktop.
Locations were correct in The Netherlands, but now some cities are displayed in Belgium.
