    Hi manasapola,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.

     

    This issue happens because the power bi map visuals use Bing Maps or Azure Maps services. So these do not fully recognize all Greece ZIP codes on its own, this is a known limitation. If you have the latitude & longitude values for each ZIP code, use them directly in the map visual instead of ZIP codes.
