Australia map not working correctly

I am using the Map to try to map our company stores (by state ) in the Australia map.

 

The Legends of the states showed with  8 differenct colours. Australia_stores_by_state

However only 6 states showed up on the map. Western Australia (WA) and New Zealand (NZ)  did not show.

 

Did anyone have this issue?

    blaw,

    Yes, I've found the standard Map visual to be a little quirky.  If I map 18,184 x  BOM rainfall weather stations on Lat and Lon, I get this - nothing north of the Canberra line...   If I export the data, I get 17, 802 rows.

     

     

    If I add the Name as a Location on the Map, it shows dots everywhere but, if I export the data, I get 17, 493 rows.

     

    Some of the differences are likely due to data - e.g. overlapping/obsolete weather stations at the same location.

     

    For your map, and assuming your data is complete per GilbertQ, do you see WA stores if you filter on some other criteria? 

     

    What do you get if you export the data from the visual?

      Just a question have you tried to test the mapping using Bing Maps?

       

      And also making sure that you have got the Address, City, State, Country when using the maps?

       

      I also find that setting it to Category of Address or City often works best.

        Have not try Bing Map yet.

         

        I definately have data for WA as it showed up in the Legends as you see below.

        How do you set category to Address or City? There is no category on the map.
