Hi,
I noticed that two-char ISO country code SA is incorrectly mapped to the country South Africa when used in the location field of the "Filled Map" visual. Same happens for other mapping visuals as well, but in my case I use the "Filled Map" visual
SA and ZA are the official 2-char ISO country codes for Saudi Arabia (SA) and South Africa (ZA)
When using the 3-char ISO code SAU it works OK for Saudi Arabia.
In my opinion this is a mapping bug.
Ron.
