    Vvelarde thanks for checking our problem.

    Yes! It works without the categorization, but if you don't use it the one that is incorrect is Río Negro.

    I think that one way or another, there're some errors to correct, maybe someone could tell us where to report this kind of things.

      Hi JuliaYebra,

       

      I think the issue may related to duplicate place name, see detail below:

       

      Rio Negro (Amazon)

      Río Negro Province

       

      Data category is used to fix this issue. For example: there are a city named xxxx and a province has the same name, if you choose the city type, data point will locate in xxxx city, if you choose province type, it will position to xxxx province.

       

      In addition, you can use full name to fix this without setting the data category. (e.g. use Río Negro province to instead the Rio Negro if this address means the province name)

       

      Regards,
