Cognos Analytics

Hello,

I have a map and the map show FL in Uruguay. Can any expert point me what cause this issue?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Den,

The boundaries within countries are not unique all over the world. In this case you need to nest the attributes in the map starting with a country.

Cognos uses mapbox maps for the tiles and for the attributes in the map visualization will reference the mapbox boundaries. You can use the boundary explorer of mapbox to verify the match with your data.

Kai,

Thank you very much for your help. I add country to this map chart, and I can see FL is in right position now. I still have few locations the map cannot recognize:

DO you have any suggestion Country/Location combination for these two locations?

Best regards,

Den,

use the link I mentioned in my previous post to see which boundaries are available for connecting data.

For British Indian Ocean Territory only two admin and one postalcode boundary is available. For Greenland this is similar. This is really not much in these territories compared to other countries like USA, where you have a large list with different boundary types. 

Kind regards
