Issue with Azure Map visual

Hi Team, I recently switched from bing map to azure map and i have postal code city name and state column, all the values are correct (for example I have data for a city in US then i checked on google and the postal code city and state is correct), still when i put these in azure map, the bubble is going into UAE region.

I categorised the column as city, postal code and state using the data view, how to resolve this

- Add a Country column (e.g., "USA") and set its data category to Country or Region.
- Create a single Location column like "City, State PostalCode, Country" and set it as Place or Address.
- Avoid using Postal Code alone—it can confuse Azure Maps.
- Double-check data categories in Model view: City, State, Postal Code, Country.


Location = [City] & ", " & [State] & " " & [PostalCode] & ", USA"

Are those locations correctly plotted in Bing Maps?  At work, we don't rely on locaiton names but on geo coordinates.
