    Hi dokat 

     

    Given the limited data accuracy, it is likely you'd have some inaccurate points on the respective map.  You could amend slightly to allocate a State and Country to help mitigate these.

     

    The below is what you will end up with if you're using the Map visual.

     

     

    As mentioned, there will be some limitations.

     

    All the best.

      TheoC  yes i got the same resuls. I wonder if i assign states to each region if that would work. rather than map out the census devision map will be based on states.

        Hi dokat 

         

        Yes, that would work well.  You could then switch from Map visual to Shape / Filled visual and limit it to the US states at a shape level. Add a few little options within the visual menu, and it would look great!

         

        Cheers mate! Well done.
