how to switch geodata location when there are multiple locations with the same name

[danaleota1]

I'm trying to use the maps chart but the location is returning St. Petersburg, Russia instead of St. Petersburg, Florida.  How do I switch it to St Petersburg in Florida? Can this be corrected in the chart or does it have to done in the script editor? 

Thanks.  New to Qlik

hi 

in the layer properties , 

go to location part , change the "scope for location" to custom

in the country insert 'US'

I tried custom scope and adding - 'US', 'USA', 'United States',  and 'United States of America' still won't budge.

hi 

it's should work , look at the definitions and the list of cities i used , you can see all are in the US

So I went into my master items for this dimension and changed the spelling from St Petersburg to Saint Petersburg  like  =IF(Capitalize(txtLocation)= 'St Petersburg', 'Saint Petersburg', txtLocation) ... how you spelled it out.  and did custom scope, country 'US' and that fixed it!?!  Thank you! 🙂
