Issue/Introduction

Warnings about missing information for smaller cities in map charts

Environment

Product: TIBCO Spotfire (Desktop client / Analyst) Version: All supported versions OS: All supported Operating Systems

Resolution

Geocoding tables are provided free of a charge from a third-party vendor, and unfortunately they do not contain every single city and country.  They use an algorithm to determine the most frequently needed locations, which means that occasionally smaller locations are not included. 

The best suggestion we can make for the customer is to create their own geocoding table to store either locally or in the Spotfire Library and add the relevant details for the countries that need to be displayed in map charts.  There is information about this in the Help files under "Geocoding, setting up geocoding tables".
