Hi antonstam,

 

Based on test, I can repro your issue. It seems like arcgis map can't accurate located by these postcodes.

For your scenario, I'd like to suggest you add latitude and longitude information to help arcgis map locate more accurately.

 

BTW, I also test on arcgis online, after I inputting postcode it alert me to add more detail information.

Hi Anonymous,

 

I have Latitude and Longitude data readily available, but when I add those columns to the ArcGIS visual I can only use point visualisations, not boundary visualisations. The 'location type' menu disappears when I add those columns.

 

By the way, I've also reported this issue at ESRI's own GeoNet website and they've sent my demo file to their product development team to see what they can make of it. I hope they can tell me what's wrong or perhaps issue a bugfix.
