Ambiguous location mapping for map visuals in Amazon Quick Sight

This article explains how to resolve ambiguous location names in Amazon QuickSight map visuals using the location mapping feature.

• Ambiguous locations (e.g., Springfield in multiple states) don't display on maps without additional context
• Three resolution methods: add supporting geospatial fields, search for specific locations, or enter latitude/longitude coordinates
• Location mapping is visual-specific, not dataset-wide; supports up to 200 mappings per visual
• Three location statuses: Unmatched (needs context), Matched (resolved), Unused (no longer relevant)
• Mapping configurations preserved in API calls but not included when importing visuals between analyses
• Reset option available to clear previously configured location mappings

QuickSight's location mapping feature ensures accurate geospatial visualization by allowing users to explicitly define geographical context for ambiguous location names in their datasets.
