Issue Description:

Broadly speaking, Berlin is the capital of Germany. Currently if users have a city table which includes Berlin, it will show the city in El Salvador in the map visual in Power BI Desktop. We have an ongoing internal investigation on this issue at the moment, and this blog would provide temp workarounds that can avoid this issue.

Workaround 3:

If there is a Country field in the data table, users can put both Country and City fields to create a hierarchy to avoid it.

Workaround 4:

If the data table has Latitudes and Longitudes for the cities, the map visual will show the specific location directly.
