Hello,
When creating a map to show the population of different Portuguese cities, I was careful enough to write the name of the city followed by " - Portugal" in the database to prevent it from showing the wrong locations.
This map has always worked ok, but now, for some reason I assume related with updating the Bing API, it is showing lots of wrong locations.
For example "Porto - Portugal", the 2nd largest city, is showing on Mexico!
This is how the maps looks like!
Hi @webportal,
In my test, the location was highlighted in correct position on the map.
In your scenario, please check:

Hello Yuliana,
Thanks, but as you can see here, the map is wrong, even if I add the name of the country, as mentioned in my question.
The report was built in Power BI Service so it doesn't have a data category. The data was uploaded from an Excel table.
As I mentioned, this map worked perfectly until last week, so this must be related with an upgrade of the service.
Hi @webportal,
So, this problem that map visual displayed wrong loactions occurred on service, right? It is a known issue confirmed by product team, we have reported internally, and the team is working on this.

I don't think it's limited to the service. I have the same problem on Power BI Desktop.
Locations were correct in The Netherlands, but now some cities are displayed in Belgium.
