Wrong address on maps

Hi guys,

the addresses on PBI maps are wrong and I don't know why.

For Example, I have a table like this

How can I do?

 

Thank you all 😁

@giuliapiazza94 You categorized the address column as continent and that solved the problem??🤣

@giuliapiazza94 did you categorize it as an address in the column options?

Yes

@giuliapiazza94  can you share some addresses here on a table (not a picture). 
Which visual are you using?

If I use La jolla/California, it works but I want to see the address on the map

I'm using Maps

What are you getting?

If I use 8610 CHARLES F KENNEL WAY/LA JOLLA, it shows me Sicily in Italy. (because I am italian?)

United States of America 🙂

I did nothing but putting your table on the map. And of course categorizing the address column as address

Finally!

It works if I categorize column as "Continent". I don't know why 😅
