Issues with Maps

Hi,

 

I have a geographical dataset for United Kingdom. There are 4 columns i.e. Postcode,County, Country, Region. 

If the screenshots are reviewed. it can be seen that the county Bedfordshire is wrongly displayed as a part of counties in Kent, Essex, Oxfordshire. I reviewed the postcodes to verify whether the postcodes are associated to the correct County in the data set and could  not fault it.

 

There is no duplication of postcodes. The postcodes are shortened. example: the long post code KT22 7DL is shortened to KT22.

Wrong Location:

Have you categorized all your geo columns?

Hi,

 

I did reconfirm to test this out and I can confirm that I have geo-marked all columns. I even tried changing the marking from County to State/Province and this change was not correct, so I reverted back to Counties. I am still seeing Bedfordshire in multiple wrong locations. In my initial email I highlighted two wrong locations, but there are atleast 5 wrong markings for Bedfordshire.
