bing map tag to only search airports by airport code

[learning_pBI]

I'm trying to use Bing Maps (connection to Power BI) to only pull airports based on IATA airport code.  In general it seems to work, but several locations such as HND (Tokyo not Honduras), BOM (Mumbai not in Africa), DEL (New Delhi not Delaware) are not being identified in the Power BI map  view.

I set the data field as 'place' and didn't improve accuracy.  I tried text string ahead of airport code such as "'iata airport code'  XXX " or "'iata airport' XXX" and didn't improve.  The reference table (Global Airport Database) for the airport code has the Lat/Lon data as well.

Thanks,

Hi @learning_pBI,

I do not so recommend you to use abbreviation address as location, bing map visual is hard to mapping them correctly with real locations.

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following link about tricks and tips using bing maps to help improve the accuracy of mapping locations.
