Postcode in Jersey (JE2) not plotting to Map

Hi first time poster here so please be gentle with me.  Just started using Power BI and everything seems to be working ok apart from one oddity.  I have a list of 102 properties (101 are in the UK and these plot ok)  However the 1 Property which is in Jersey doesnt seem to be recognised and nothing shows on the map.  I have double checked to make sure the postcode is correct (and it is ok)....

So is this a problem with Power BI or is it that Bing doesnt like postcodes in Jersey?

 

Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.

 

thank you

 

Rob

 

PS I have searched old discussions but cannot seem to find anything (apologies if there is and I just havent found it)

    I think it is Bing that doesn't like the postcodes. To get better result with the Map visual, you can reference Tips and Tricks for Power BI Map visualizations
