Filled maps visual does not auto-zoom correctly

I have set up a filled map based on 1. Country Name and 2. State/province/region. Just a note, each location has a country location, but not all have a region. My issue is that the map either pans too far to one side, or incorrectly renders. When it incorrectly renders, the fill colors are blurred and distorted. I have tried many times to save the map in the correct orientation, but any time the file is opened or a web linked is opened, it defaults to the orientation shown in filled map 1.

I have turned off autozoom, and that allows the map to save and open in the correct orientation. However, when a user chooses to filter by a location, the map will not zoom and this negatively affects the usability.

 

Has anyone encountered this issue? 

 

To further illustrate the problem, when using the map visual, all points are shown no matter the orientation. As you can see from the included images, this does not happen with the filled map. I have switched between the two map types, have completely recreated my filled map visual, have changed the data type of my geographic fields, have tried to resize the map (it merely changes the orientation, but still doesn't include all filled areas), and have even re-downloaded power bi. Unfortunately, the arcgis map is not publishable online, or else I would use that one. I am out of ideas and do not know what to do. Please help.

      I appreciate your help. I tried out the calculated column and it gives a better view of the situation than using country and state/province fields. When I try this in the visual I end up with the incorrect render. This has got to be a Bing maps issue. For now I will just turn off the autozoom which really hurts the user experience.

       

      Thank you again

        Hi jshepardo ,

         

        Have you tried to use the latest version of Power BI Desktop? Does our sample data has the same issue on your side? Could you please try to use Filter on some location to see if there it only happen on some specific records?


        Best regards,
