I noticed that the completed installed base of our machines was not shown on the Bing Map. After experimenting I realised that it was because our ERP system works with 2 digit ISO country codes, while it seems you need the 3 digit country code. Our ERP system is limited to 2 characters. It would be great if Power BI supports 2 and 3 digits, For example, the country code RU did not show our machines in Russia.

I think we need full location code support from UN.

Hi, this is very much needed. We are taking data straight from Microsoft Dynamics (aprox. 20k records) and the addresses have the 2-digit code for country, never even heard about a 3-digit before... And because of this Bing Maps is placing addresses all over the place: Turkey in North Corea, Spain in Argentina, UK in Australia, it is a mess!

I also spent/wasted quite a bit of time trying to figure out why Russia was not showing up on my map. I find it crazy that ISO 3166 Alpha-2 codes are not used.

Currently, Russia (RU) is not shown properly as 2-digit ISO code while other countries are. Would be great to have full support as the current state is pretty misleading.

This would be nice indeed. For Virgin Islands, VG is recognized, but VI isn't.

Outside US this is the most common way to code countries.
