QuickSight: Filled Maps - US Territories difficulty

Hello Eric,

Kindly note that some areas may be unsupported and to map such unsupported locations, you would have to include latitude and longitude coordinates in your data [1]. To that effect, I did find a dataset you may find interesting to use that has this data contained in it for US States and Territories that I would like you to review and see if this meets your requirements [2]. I was able to visualise all the states/territories on the filled map with this data.

An alternative approach is to create geographic hierarchies. I was able to add Guam and Marshall Islands with this approach before considering using the latitudinal and longitudinal values approach. Kindly see a practical approach to do this on this discussion [3].

To make this work therefore, I recommend including the latitude and longitude coordinates in your data for the unsupported location.

Best, Ernest.
