One challenge of working with data of a geographical nature is that sometimes, it can be mapped incorrectly. In this quick post I want to give you a couple of tips that will help you to reduce, if not eliminate, incorrect mappings of your data!
There are a few different methods you can use to try to solve the issue of incorrect mapping of geographical data.
Take a look at the screenshot below, the State/Province of Nord in France is being incorrectly mapped to Lebanon.
Fortunately, this one can be solved very easily by using hierarchies. Nord, by itself, is not clear enough for Bing maps, however, if we add the country to the visual as well, then the picture becomes clearer and Nord will be properly mapped to France.
1) Add the Country to the Location. The country should show up above the state in the location list as seen in the following screenshot:
2) After adding the country, the map is at the highest level and you would want to now drill down to show the next level in the hierarchy. In the animated gif below, you will notice that Nord is now being mapped correctly in France!
