Shape Map Netherlands incorrect
Dear all,
Using the Shape Map for trhe Netherlands couldn't be easier.
Whilst using it i found a small error which makes redering data in it somehwat useless.
One of the provinces is called Fryslan, this is incorrect and should be Friesland.
Frysland is the local native tongue while Friesland is the general name in the Netherlands for this province.
Therefore all data for this province is left out if the fieldnames are not changed in your dataset (which would be silly).
Can i change the visual myself or can this be changed?
Best regards!

Thank you Erik,
I guess i need the next update to view the map keys but i didnt see any remark on changing them.
To build my own json file is an option of course but in the meantime the translation of the Province name is not proper.
It is supposed to be Friesland instead of Fryslan. (which is local dialect).
Anyway's still thank you for the swift reply.
Best regards,
Sander

Please change the Region key Fryslan to Friesland..
the Region Keys for the Shapemap for the Netherlands: Provinces is (still) incorrect.
id iso name name-en

No solutions provided.
Unfortunately this is still not resolved.
Name of Friesland is still incorrect in the map shape
I recently also encountered this issue, since this is still not resolved. I found a workaround for this issue, and decided to write a post about it on Medium, I hope it helps you.
