Filled map with postal/zip codes stopped working

Hi,   I have a Power BI dashboard that uses the Filled map visual to show postal/zip code areas in the Netherlands. This suddenly stopped working, the visual does not show the postal code areas any...

    Hi,

     

    v-easonf-msft: the problem has solved itself, the filled maps worked again for some reason. Maybe there was a bug in Power BI or Bing Maps that has been fixed in the meantime. 

     

    Watsky: unfortunatly ArcMaps is currently unavailble at my organization. But it could me a good alternative for the future. Thanks for the tip!

Hi v-easonf-msft, thanks for the response!

 

In the example you sent the whole of Amsterdam is shown instead of the specific postal code '1012 CR'. It seems to be working for cities in the Netherlands but not for postal codes. 

 

Also I am interested in the larger area '1012' that contains all postal codes starting with 1012 ('1012 AA', ... ,'1012 ZZ').

 

Here you can see postal code '1012' in Google Maps: https://www.google.nl/maps/place/1012+Amsterdam/@52.370474,4.8919681,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x47c609b884575367:0x7040b5fc23f3d95a!8m2!3d52.3733862!4d4.8940639 

 

Any idea how I can show this postal code '1012' with a filled map in Power BI?
