Bing Map plotting wrong UK Postcodes

The Power Bi Bing map is plotting incorrect locations for postcodes. The problem appears to be limited to one individual.

 

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The other users likely got lucky because on their machines PowerBI guessed right. It is better to help PowerBI by categorizing these kinds of columns.

Did you categorize that column as Zip/Postal code?

No but it isn't a problem for other users.
