BI Maps Not Returning Correct Location

I have a data set that is behaving strangely in PowerBI.  When I use the map in BI I get the wrong location but when I type the same value in Bing Maps I get the correct one using the same format.  Any help is appreciated.

Location in BILocation in BI  This is the location in BI

Hello,

 

something you can do is to concat the country name and the city name in order to place them correctly in the map. To do it create a new column: country_city = country & " " & city.

 

There are other ways to do it, bu this is a simple one.
