Map Chart: Regions not displaying properly
I'm having problems getting a particular region to display properly in Map Charts. I'm not sure if it's region-specific or a problem with the programme. I'm pulling together a map of Georgia, the cou...
Hi Andrea,
In general, Map Charts is sensitive to column names (better to name them literally as recommended) and it always worth to have Country column (with only "Italy" in your case), otherwise bing engine could recognize Rome as the city in Georgia, USA, not as your capital.
And yes, it's sensitive to non-English names, the only way is play with different transcriptions.
SergeiBaklan I have a similar error (sometimes displaying the country regions correctly sometimes the whole world) with Portugal despite the fact that the country is identified correctly.
After testing it I notices that the Faro district is causing the problem. For some reason when I add any municipality of the Faro district excel/bing switches from the Portugal map to the World Map. If I zoom in Portugal I can see that the Faro District is filled in with the right colours (so it is recognizing it as being in Portugal) but Portugal being so tiny relative to the world, zooming in gives an ultra pixelized map with poor definition (unusable).
Seems like a bug. Is there a fix?
