Alternative Keywords for Polygen in MapPointSeries

[ArunPragadeeswar007]

Question:

I am using amCharts 5 GeoMap Point series to visualize data where the dataset includes country names and corresponding values. For most cases, I am able to map the country names to their respective country IDs using amCharts GeoData, and it works fine. However, I have encountered an issue when trying to map "Russian Federation," as the data supports only "Russia."

Expected Behavior:

It would be great if "Russian Federation" could be mapped correctly to the "Russia" country ID in GeoMap, as both refer to the same entity but with different names.

Actual Behavior:

Currently, the mapping fails, and the data for "Russian Federation" does not display correctly.

Possible Solution:

It would be possible for amCharts Geo to support additional keywords, such as "Russian Federation," to map to "Russia" or provide a method to handle such cases more smoothly.

Additional Information:

This issue seems to apply not only to "Russian Federation" but also to other similar cases where the country name is slightly altered. It would be extremely helpful if amCharts GeoData could handle these variations automatically.

Version: amCharts 5

I don't think you should be mapping to country names. You should use country IDs. We use ISO2 country names, like US, FR, ES, etc.
