Advocate IShape Map Not Works in Desktop but not Online
We have our Location field in the map using a field that combines CITY, STATE COUNTRY.
These maps ceased to work with the June release.We were able to correct this by selecting our CITY, STATE COUNTRY field, and then in the Modeling tab changing the Data Category to PLACE.
This is the only method we have had success with the new (as of June release) maps. The MS documentation showing Country & postal code hierarchy has not worked for us. It confuses citys with Countries and vice versa at least a third of the time.
Advocate II checked and I have a separate map that uses Lat/Long and that still works correctly, so it seems to be an issue with other types of data. Unfortunately Lat/Long is not available for this data set (or most data sets I map with).
I have raised a ticket on this and they say engineers are working on it, however nothing has come through since Friday. I will let you know of any updates.
Good afternoon.
I join the group of not working maps.
Looking forward to receiving good news ...
I received this off the support team today; should be resolved by EOD

great news thanks for the update simonpdavies92 had this as well I suspected a bug
a workaround for me was setting the Data Categorization on my Location field to "Uncategorized"
