You Can Try Few Steps to Adjust the Filled Map:

1. Ensure Proper Data Mapping:

   • Verify that the field used for mapping (e.g., Country, Region, State) corresponds precisely to Power BI's geographic data standards.
   • If you are using "North America," ensure the field is set as Country/Region in the data model.

2. Modify Map Settings:

   • Go to the Format pane for the filled map.
   • Under Map settings, adjust the Map style to ensure clear area coverage.
   • Choose a theme like "Grayscale" or "Light" for better contrast.

3. Use Data Categories:

   • Ensure the data column is categorized correctly:
     • Select your data column in Power BI's data view.
     • In the Column Tools ribbon, set the Data Category (e.g., Country, Region, or State).

4. Combine Regions into a Single Area (if needed):

   • If the visual splits Canada into smaller regions (Image 2), ensure that the source data aggregates all areas into a single record for the country-level display.

5. Alternative Mapping Tools (ArcGIS):

   • Use the ArcGIS for Power BI visual, which provides more granular control over map visuals.
   • You can configure boundaries and shading to represent the filled map format in Image 1.

6. Adjust Data Granularity:

   • Check if the granularity (e.g., Province vs. Country) is causing the issue.
   • Aggregate or modify your data model to fit the visualization's needs.

I hope the provided solution works for you
