Hi digitalphil,

 

Based on my test, if use the short name of country like "GB", "FR","HU" in map visual, sometimes the region cannot be recognized exactly and be highlighted in the map. Also, if we don't select proper data category for regional column, the region won't be recognized correctly either.

 

So, in your scenario, I would suggest use full country name (Great Britain, France, Hungary) as the location field. And set the data category to Country/region.

 

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

 

Thanks,
Yuliana Gu
